We can discuss all that at the retro.
Bring those action items to the grooming session.
I was told to use planning rather than grooming because it could offend our British partners.

I suppose it’s because of a reference to sexual grooming ? Is that a English word only?

Or maybe dog grooming is a touchy subject in the US. I have no idea, culture evade me often here.

I sure did bring those items in grooming, it was promptly dismiss because too broad for the scope of the sprint at hand. and kept for retro, where it could be properly buried for 4-6 weeks while someone take it as a action item of the retro.

The thing is : I kinda like Agile and Scrum. But it can become very circular if Product owner are not keeping everyone feets close to the fire.

This, a national tragedy that isn't yet very well know I guess:

But surely we should not ban the term, and actually speak more of this, not less, so it doesn't happen again?
Kind of agree.

But be aware that for anyone who knows the full details, this word might bring about a visceral reaction. It is beyond ugly.

”Refinement”. We’re doing refinement these days.
Grooming session sounds creepy.
