To decompose product requirements into epics and stories, provide approved PRD and architecture inputs to map functional and non-functional requirements into user-value driven epics and independently deployable stories with traceability.

Mapping functional and non-functional requirements to stories involves extracting each requirement from the PRD and architecture, assigning them to user-value driven epics, and generating standalone stories with explicit acceptance criteria for full traceability.

Yes, you can generate independently deployable stories from PRD and architecture documents by breaking down approved requirements into standalone units of work that a single developer can implement and validate with explicit acceptance criteria.

Ensuring traceability from requirements to user stories requires mapping all functional and non-functional requirements directly to their parent epics and corresponding stories, aligning technical architecture and UX inputs throughout the decomposition process.

Yes, UX inputs are needed to create user-value driven epics because they ensure the generated epics and stories align with the user experience design and technical architecture defined in your approved product requirements.

Breaking down architecture requirements without UX alignment limits the ability to generate user-value driven epics and accurately map functional and non-functional requirements to stories that meet collaborative design and technical expectations.
