What problem does it solve?

This Skill standardizes and clarifies the process of managing software development stories, from initial backlog to final delivery, ensuring consistent estimation and workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

Backlog Management: Defines rules for selecting and clarifying top unstarted stories.
Development Workflow: Enforces a Test-Driven Development (TDD) cycle (Red, Green, Refactor).
Story Lifecycle Tracking: Maps the progression of a story through states like Finished, PR, CI, Review, Merge, Delivered, and PM Accept/Reject.
Estimation & Splitting: Utilizes Fibonacci points for estimation and provides clear guidelines for splitting large stories.
Use Case: A development team can use this Skill to ensure all new features and bug fixes follow a consistent process, improving predictability and code quality.

Quick Start

Use the story workflow skill to estimate a new feature story using Fibonacci points.

FAQPage Schema

How do I estimate agile stories using Fibonacci points?▼

Agile story estimation with Fibonacci points assigns relative effort values to backlog items. This Skill supports feature, bug, and chore story types by providing guidelines for splitting large stories into manageable development tasks.

What is the Test-Driven Development cycle for agile workflow?▼

The Test-Driven Development (TDD) cycle for agile workflow consists of Red, Green, and Refactor phases. This Skill enforces the TDD cycle to ensure consistent development processes and improve code quality across new features and bug fixes.

How do I manage story lifecycle states from backlog to delivery?▼

Managing story lifecycle states involves tracking progression through Finished, PR, CI, Review, Merge, Delivered, and PM Accept/Reject. This Skill maps these states to standardize software development workflows and clarify delivery.

When should I split large stories in agile development?▼

You should split large stories in agile development when they exceed manageable Fibonacci point thresholds. This Skill provides clear guidelines for story splitting to break down complex features into smaller, deliverable development tasks.

Does this story workflow support feature, bug, and chore story types?▼

Yes, this story workflow supports feature, bug, and chore story types with defined branching and merging strategies. It standardizes the process of managing software development stories from initial backlog selection to final delivery.
