The User Story Splitting Masterclass
Turn giant 'epics' into manageable stories. Learn how to split work without losing value.
About this session
Large, complex features often stall because they feel too big to start or too risky to estimate. This session provides a practical framework for slicing these epics into smaller, deliverable units that remain functional and valuable to the end user.
Why it works
By applying specific splitting patterns to real backlog items, the team moves from abstract discussion to concrete planning. This structured approach prevents the loss of context, ensuring that even the smallest task contributes to a meaningful piece of the product.
