Product backlog grooming often happens two to three days before the end of a sprint. There is almost always someone on the team who is frantically busy two or three days before the end of a sprint.
How often does Backlog refinement occur?
Often, Scrum Teams come together once per Sprint, or once per week to have their "Refinement Meeting". The Product Owner shares what Product Backlog items (PBI) need to be refined and the whole team discusses them.
Why do we do Backlog refinement?
The intent of backlog refinement is to ensure that the backlog remains populated with items that are relevant, detailed and estimated to a degree appropriate with their priority, and in keeping with current understanding of the project or product and its objectives.
