Can a process improvement item identified in Sprint Retrospective be included in the Sprint Backlog without it first being in the Product Backlog?
Since The Development Team is sole owner of the Sprint Backlog, I think this should be ok provided it is able to deliver a useable increment with the required functionality? If this is really a process improvement feature it is likely to result in higher efficiency and time saving.
Thoughts?
best regards,
Alok.
