For historic reasons I don't want to get into, we have to do the full breakdown in advance in this case. But I am interested in what disadvantages this could bring, compared to any other approach that you have in mind. | |
| Nov 2, 2018 at 13:36 | comment | added | Max Hohenegger | To clarify the scale: I would estimate the breakdown will eventually lead to a number in between 500 and 1k stories, plus around 2k acceptance criteria (GivenWhenThens). Because we are developing a product, we also have to deal with changing business requirements from multiple customers. | |
| Nov 1, 2018 at 21:54 | comment | added | Daniel | Hi Max, I'm curious about this statement: "customers may insist on a breakdown of a large number of requirements for planability". In my experience there are other ways to plan without decomposing large amounts of the backlog. | |
| Nov 1, 2018 at 20:25 | comment | added | Doc Brown | IMHO you are overthinking this. Changing the requirements description of a dozen user stories in the backlog requires a fraction of the time of implementing only a few, or just even one of them in code. How often, in reality, did you encounter a situation where you had to rewrite so many user stories that you felt it became unmanageable? | |
