Overview

This skill is an agile product owner toolkit that helps senior Product Owners write INVEST-compliant user stories, plan sprints, manage backlogs, and track velocity. It bundles story generation, automatic acceptance criteria, capacity-based sprint planning, and simple metrics to keep execution aligned with priorities. The tools are designed for rapid iteration and pragmatic stakeholder communication.

How this skill works

The toolkit inspects epic descriptions and breaks them into well-formed user stories that meet INVEST criteria, then generates acceptance criteria and point estimates. It assigns priority, validates story quality, and offers capacity-based sprint planning to populate a sprint up to a given team capacity. Velocity tracking collects completed points over time to surface trends for forecasting and retrospective analysis.

When to use it

When converting epics or feature briefs into ready-to-develop user stories.
During sprint planning to fill a sprint according to team capacity.
When you need consistent, INVEST-compliant acceptance criteria for handoff.
To prioritize and groom the backlog before refinement sessions.
When tracking team velocity and forecasting future sprints.

Best practices

Provide clear, concise epic descriptions to get higher-quality story splits.
Validate automated acceptance criteria with the team and QA before committing.
Use capacity values based on historical velocity, not idealized estimates.
Keep stories small and independently testable to maintain INVEST compliance.
Review automated point estimates during refinement and adjust for complexity.

Example use cases

Generate a set of development-ready stories from a new product epic for the next PI.
Run capacity-based sprint planning to assemble a realistic sprint backlog.
Auto-create acceptance criteria for stories to speed QA test-case authoring.
Prioritize a backlog after stakeholder input and prepare for refinement.
Track completed story points over multiple sprints to inform release forecasts.

FAQ

Can this tool estimate story points automatically?

Yes — it provides automatic point estimates, but you should review and adjust them during refinement.

Does it enforce INVEST automatically?

It validates stories against INVEST guidelines and surfaces issues for the product owner to fix.
