Frequently asked questions
How small should a backlog item be?
Small enough to finish within a few days and demo independently. Items estimated over 5 days usually hide multiple stories.
Does this write my acceptance criteria for me?
No. It flags whether criteria exist. Use the Acceptance Criteria Writer tool to draft them in Given–When–Then form.
What if I don't know the benefit yet?
That's a signal to pause and clarify with a stakeholder before adding the item to a sprint.
