Don’t put refactoring in the backlog. Don’t put refactoring in the backlog. Don’t put refactoring in the backlog. If you do this, you don’t get it.

There's no such thing as a 'refactoring task'. That is a fundamental misunderstanding of what refactoring means. So remove all those unnecessary tasks. Instead, just tidy the area you're working on a little bit each time you're in the vicinity. Small technical improvements with no functional change. Refactor before a change to make the change simpler. Refactor after a change to make the design better. This work is part and parcel of making any functional change, so resist the urge to add it as a separate task.

You require strategic approach that focuses on prioritization, clear communication, and thoughtful integration of refactoring into the project. Here is how: ?? Balance immediate needs with long-term stability: create a refactoring roadmap & communicate the logn-term benefits ?? Monitor and manage technical debt: track technical debt & reduce debt gradually ?? Measure and demonstrate the value of refactoring: show improvements in code quality & monitor velocity gains ?? Be flexible with milestones: adjust milestones (if necessary) & combine them with refactoring deliverables
