Split the requirement into vertical slices where each slice cuts through all technical layers (data, logic, interface, output) rather than splitting by layer. Each slice should be independently verifiable and free of strong dependencies on other slices.
A vertical slice is a work item that delivers end-to-end functionality across all technical layers, from interface entry to user-visible output. Unlike horizontal splits (database first, then API, then frontend), each vertical slice can be demonstrated and tested on its own.
Classify a work item as HITL when it requires architecture decisions, business judgment, design review, or external confirmations like third-party integration approval. Mark it AFK when an agent can complete it without any human decision-making.
Strong dependencies, where one slice cannot start until another finishes, defeat the purpose of splitting. Merge the two slices into one, re-split along a different dimension to eliminate the dependency, or explicitly document the required execution order.
No, it only defines work boundaries and explicitly avoids prescribing implementation approaches. Each resulting slice is handed to a separate design skill (design-craft) for technical design, keeping decomposition and design as distinct phases.
