    <sectionDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
    Point-based estimation of new items added to the backlog is done by the team, ideally during a brainstorming with the&#xD;
    Product Owner, one or two days prior to Sprint review.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Existing items can also be reestimated.&#xD;

  <keyConsiderations>&lt;p>&#xD;
    During a sprint, no one can modify the selection of backlog items, done at the beginning of the sprint: the sprint&#xD;
    scope remains unchanged.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    However, anyone, even a external stakeholder, can suggest new items for later. These items are studied and prioritized&#xD;
    by the product owner prior to next sprint planning.&lt;br />&#xD;
     Bugs and enhancement requests coming from partial product tests done at the end of previous sprint are also used to&#xD;
    update the backlog.&#xD;
&lt;/p></keyConsiderations>
  <purpose>Updating the backlog and adjusting the planning, taking into account changes emerged since the last sprint.</purpose>
