Epic Breakdown Advisor
deanpeters/product-manager-skillsProduct managers often face large epics that are too big to work on. This guide helps you split those epics into smaller user stories. It uses a proven method with nine patterns to find the right cut.
Vertical slicing is the key. Each story delivers real value to users instead of just technical layers. The process starts with a quick check, then walks through patterns in order, and ends with choosing the best split.
This approach reveals low-value work you can drop. It makes your backlog clearer and your sprints more predictable. Anyone can follow the simple steps to turn a vague feature into ready stories.
