Agile Product Owner

This is a structured playbook for product owners who need to translate messy requirements into sprint-ready work. It walks you through writing INVEST-compliant user stories with Given-When-Then acceptance criteria, breaking down bloated epics using eight specific splitting rules (workflow steps, business rule variations, data types), and estimating story points on the Fibonacci scale. The templates are prescriptive, which is either exactly what you need when you're staring at a blank backlog or a bit rigid if your team already has its own groove. The epic breakdown decision logic is the most useful part, it gives you a literal flowchart for when a story is too big and how to carve it up without losing coherence. Good for new product owners or teams trying to standardize their agile practice.

Clarify First

Before generating stories or a sprint plan, settle the inputs below. When one is missing or vague and would change the result, ask about it; when it wouldn't, use a sensible default and say which one you used.

Persona who benefits: the specific user the story serves (drives the "As a..." clause and acceptance criteria).
The requirement or epic scope: the capability and its success condition (drives story breakdown and INVEST validation).
Team velocity and availability: rolling average points and PTO/holidays this sprint (sets committed vs stretch capacity).
