What problem does it solve? Large product initiatives are hard to plan, estimate, and communicate when they exist only as vague ideas or oversized tasks. This Skill provides a hierarchical framework that breaks strategic goals into themes, epics, and sprint-sized stories so teams can plan releases and track progress at every level. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-Level Hierarchy: Defines themes (strategic, quarters-long), epics (tactical, weeks-long), and stories (operational, sprint-sized) with clear characteristics and templates for each. - Decomposition Techniques: Breaks epics into stories by workflow steps, user roles, data types, CRUD operations, or acceptance criteria. - Estimation and Communication Guidance: Provides size references, INVEST criteria for stories, and stakeholder communication mapping from executives to developers. - Use Case: A product manager planning a document management initiative can decompose it into epics like storage, sharing, and collaboration, then into sprint-ready stories with acceptance criteria and story point estimates. ## Quick Start Break down my initiative to improve mobile user retention into themes, epics, and sprint-ready user stories with acceptance criteria.
