Sometimes It Is Necessary To Split User Stories

Don’t miss Tom Cagley’s most popular webinar of 2014, How to Split User Stories! If you couldn’t attend the first time, he’s offering it again!

The backlog of user stories needs to be managed so that, as a story gets closer to being accepted into a sprint and developed, the story becomes as granular as needed. Thus, it is sometimes necessary to split user stories.

The process of grooming and splitting user stories (when needed) is an ongoing operation across the life of any project.

In doing so, epics and larger stories are condensed into smaller pieces that can be understood and developed within the context of an individual sprint.

Stories, when they are accepted into a sprint, must meet the “rule.” The rule is that each story must deliver functionality that is potentially implementable, and it’s important to keep this rule in mind when splitting stories.

In this webinar, Tom Cagley will explain why it is sometimes necessary to split user stories and how best to split them into valuable slices of functionality.
