Product Backlog Creation
During this step, the process involves breaking down the larger items and capturing their functional details as epics and user stories. User stories are derived from the larger items and are made more granular, allowing them to be included in the product backlog. Epics, on the other hand, can also be added to the product backlog but cannot be directly included in the sprint backlog unless they are converted into user stories.
For example, a typical user story could be: "As an admin, I want to have the ability to add, modify, and delete tasks for users on the website."
When creating user stories, it is important to include the following required fields:
User Stories Significance: This field describes the importance or relevance of the user story in the context of the project. It helps prioritize user stories and allocate resources accordingly.
Initial Estimate: During the meeting or planning session, an initial estimate is made for each user story. This estimate represents the effort or complexity associated with implementing the user story.
To demonstrate how user stories can be transformed into tasks, a demo or example can be provided. This demo showcases the process of breaking down user stories into smaller, actionable tasks. It serves as a guide for the development team to understand the steps involved in implementing the user story and assists in task allocation and tracking progress during sprint planning and execution.
