Epic Breakdown Advisor
Skill Verifiziert AktivBreak down epics into user stories with Humanizing Work split patterns. Use when a backlog item is too large to estimate, sequence, or deliver safely.
To help product managers and teams efficiently and effectively break down large epics into smaller, vertically sliced user stories that are easier to estimate, sequence, and deliver safely.
Funktionen
- Applies Humanizing Work splitting patterns sequentially
- Includes pre-split INVEST validation
- Guides evaluation of split quality (reveals waste, equal sizes)
- Provides examples for each pattern and common pitfalls
- Offers a structured, methodical approach to story splitting
Anwendungsfälle
- When a backlog item is too large to estimate, sequence, or deliver safely
- To identify the right story split pattern for a large backlog item
- To ensure vertical slicing (end-to-end value) rather than horizontal slicing (technical layers)
- To reveal low-value work that can be deprioritized or eliminated during the splitting process
Nicht-Ziele
- Arbitrarily splitting stories without a methodical process
- Horizontal slicing that creates technical layers instead of user value
- Splitting technical tasks that are not user-facing stories
- Providing a generic story writing template without a strategic splitting framework

User Story Splitting
95Break a large story or epic into smaller deliverable stories using proven split patterns. Use when backlog items are too big for estimation, sequencing, or independent release.
Shape Up
100Escape the build trap and endless backlogs. Use Basecamp's methodology to ship meaningful work in 6-week cycles with fixed time, variable scope. Use when: **Product planning** to replace endless backlogs; **Feature development** with clear time boundaries; **Team autonomy** when you want self-directed teams; **Scope management** when projects tend to balloon; **Startup development** with limited resources
Design Sprint
100Test big ideas in just 5 days. Apply Google Ventures' proven methodology to go from problem to validated prototype without months of development. Use when: **New product concepts** that need validation before building; **Big feature decisions** with significant investment required; **Stuck teams** needing to break through analysis paralysis; **Startup pivots** when direction is uncertain; **High-risk bets** where failure is expensive
User Story Mapping
100Create a user story map that lays out activities, steps, tasks, and release slices. Use when planning a workflow, backlog, or MVP around the user journey.
Scrum Master Expert
100Advanced Scrum Master skill for data-driven agile team analysis and coaching. Use when the user asks about sprint planning, velocity tracking, retrospectives, standup facilitation, backlog grooming, story points, burndown charts, blocker resolution, or agile team health. Runs Python scripts to analyse sprint JSON exports from Jira or similar tools: velocity_analyzer.py for Monte Carlo sprint forecasting, sprint_health_scorer.py for multi-dimension health scoring, and retrospective_analyzer.py for action-item and theme tracking. Produces confidence-interval forecasts, health grade reports, and improvement-velocity trends for high-performing Scrum teams.
Plan Sprint
99Plan a sprint by refining backlog items, defining a sprint goal, calculating team capacity, selecting items, and decomposing them into tasks. Produces a SPRINT-PLAN.md with goal, selected items, task breakdown, and capacity allocation. Use when starting a new sprint in a Scrum or agile project, re-planning after significant scope change, transitioning from ad-hoc work to structured sprint cadence, or after backlog grooming when items are ready for inclusion.
