Episode notes
Measure Which Acceptance Criteria Matter
- Link individual acceptance criteria to analytics and runtime instrumentation to see which parts users exercise.
- Use that feedback to prioritize or refine specific ACs instead of guessing at feature value.
Use AI To Suggest Story Decomposition
- Use AI to suggest story splits when INVEST criteria fail, then let humans refine the suggestions.
- Treat AI as a labor-saving assistant, not a final decision maker.
Recombine Splits After Independent Shipping
- Splitting stories aids independent shipping but fragments product history and metrics.
- Recombining shipped splits can restore clarity and simplify analytics and archaeology.
