He had been without a club after being released in the summer after two years at Ashton Gate.
In a 20-year career, James has also played for Liverpool, Aston Villa, West Ham, Manchester City and Portsmouth and earned 53 England caps.
James revealed Groves and former team-mate Richard Hughes helped persuade him to sign.
“The experience I had with Grovesy at Portsmouth was invaluable as coming in to a manager who I had no idea about would be scary,” he said. “I understand the guy, I like his methodology and I like the way he thinks.”
Bournemouth lost 4-0 at Swindon in their last League One match.
