3. Retrieve Team Capacity

5. Assign Refinement Task
Create a task for the Product Owner to review and add acceptance criteria to the selected backlog items.
6. Update Feature Status to 'Refining'

Update the 'Definition of Ready' checkbox and 'Acceptance Criteria' text field in the backlog entry.
13. Notify Stakeholders of Refined Features
