  • Guides the creation of acceptance criteria and links to reference guides (story refinement, story splitting, story estimation) to improve backlog quality.
  • Supports backlog refinement, sprint planning, and feature scoping by producing concise, testable stories with actionable outcomes.

Quick Start
