Easy to start · Jira integration
Making necessary but painful team processes lightweight and engaging — so your team grooms continuously instead of postponing it.
Every team, every sprint.
The real problem
Marathon refinement sessions are painful because the whole team is forced to review every ticket together, in real time — the least efficient way possible.
Two-hour sessions where the first 30 minutes is everyone reading silently — together, on a call.
Stale tickets nobody dares delete. They survive every session and pile up until the backlog is unreadable.
High-value work gets buried under the noise. Important tickets keep slipping to the next sprint.
Team members feel disconnected from the backlog. Nobody knows what's coming, or why.
A better habit
Clean Backlog turns refinement from a heavy weight calendar event into a lightweight, continuous habit — a few minutes of your focus time and a few swipes later the backlog stays fresh.
"We really should clean up the backlog at some point — let's schedule a 2-hour session."
"I have 15 minutes — let me swipe through a few tickets. Done. Backlog's always fresh."
How it works
Connect your Jira and start your first session in minutes. Voters don't need an account.
Connect your Jira workspace and pick the backlog items you want to review. Share the session link — team members can vote without signing up.
Each person swipes through tickets at their own pace — when it fits best to themi, not in a dedicated block.
Results show consensus instantly. Quick wins surface naturally. Spend your meeting time only on the tickets that actually need discussion.
Benefits
The goal isn't just a shorter meeting. It's a team that stays connected to the backlog all the time.
Arrive with 80% of tickets already voted on. Spend meeting time on discussion and edge cases — not triage.
Low-hanging fruits bubble up naturally from the vote results. High-value, low-effort tickets are easy to spot before planning.
When the whole team votes to remove something, it's easy — and safe — to let it go. The backlog finally shrinks.
Everyone builds familiarity with what's in the backlog, understands dependencies, and sees where the product is heading.
