des-create-story

To convert epics into implementation-ready stories, you transform an Epic Catalog into a Story Catalog with acceptance criteria, test expectations, and traceability to planning artifacts. This ensures every story is ready for sprint planning and CI/CD readiness checks.

Epic decomposition is the process of breaking down high-level epics into acceptance-driven, testable user and engineering stories. It establishes clear story scope, explicit dependencies, risks, and links back to originating epics for full traceability.

You generate acceptance criteria and test expectations by mapping each story back to its originating epic and planning artifacts. The resulting story catalog includes quality, governance, and security expectations required for backlog readiness.

Epic-to-story breakdown does not include sprint planning, detailed task breakdowns, or code generation. It strictly focuses on creating readiness-ready backlog artifacts with acceptance criteria, dependencies, and risks to guide subsequent sprint planning.

Creating an implementation-ready story catalog captures explicit dependencies, risks, and blockers for each story. It also maps story scope constraints and governance security expectations to ensure comprehensive coverage before sprint execution.

You can use des-create-story for CI/CD readiness checks by generating stories with acceptance criteria and test expectations. It produces readiness-ready backlog artifacts specifically designed for data engineering workflow planning and readiness validation.
