SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Breaks down large PRDs, specs, or feature briefs into actionable epics and user stories with clear dependencies to drive backlog planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured PRD scoping and decomposition into prioritized epics and stories.
  • Dependency mapping and story-map generation that feeds a persistent backlog pipeline.
  • Output artifacts including a PRD plan and a story map for downstream planning.

Quick Start

Break down a provided PRD into a formal story map with dependencies by running the decomposition workflow on the PRD document.

FAQPage Schema
How do I break down a large PRD into actionable epics and user stories?

To break down a large PRD into epics and user stories, you run a structured decomposition workflow that scopes the document and generates a formal story map with dependency mapping. This process translates large feature briefs into a persistent backlog pipeline.

What is story mapping in backlog planning?

Story mapping in backlog planning is the process of structuring large product specifications into prioritized epics and user stories. It generates a visual story map artifact that organizes dependencies and feeds downstream backlog pipelines.

Can I use a feature brief that is too large for a single analysis to generate a story map?

Yes, you can use a large feature brief to generate a story map. The decomposition workflow is specifically designed to process feature briefs that are too large for a single analysis by applying structured input validation and scoping to map out all dependencies.

How do I map dependencies when decomposing product specifications into epics?

To map dependencies when decomposing product specifications, the workflow validates the structured input and translates it into a PRD plan. It automatically identifies and maps relationships between the newly generated epics and user stories for the backlog pipeline.

What is the best way to create a persistent backlog pipeline from a PRD?

The best way to create a persistent backlog pipeline from a PRD is to use a repeatable decomposition process that outputs structured artifacts. It generates a formal PRD plan and a story map with prioritized epics to drive continuous backlog planning.
