"Rightsizing" User Stories

To create effective User Stories that can be completed in half a day, focus on:

Clarity and focus: Each story should have a single objective with clear acceptance criteria.

Small and independent: Break down larger features into smaller, self-contained stories.

Value delivery: Ensure each story provides value, even if it's small.

Collaboration: Work with the team to identify natural breakpoints and refine stories.

Continuous improvement: Regularly review story size and adjust your approach as needed.
