Breaking Down Requirements in Agile: From Epic to Task
In agile development, requirements are often decomposed into different levels of granularity, each with its own purpose and characteristics. These levels include: Epic : A high-level requirement or goal that is too large to be completed within a single iteration. Epics are typically broken down into smaller requirements, such as features. Feature : A requirement that delivers some measurable value to the customer. Features are smaller than epics and can be completed within a single iteration. Story : A requirement that describes a specific functionality or behavior. Stories are smaller than features and are typically written from the perspective of the end user. Task : A specific piece of work that needs to be done to complete a story. Tasks are the smallest level of decomposition and are typically assigned to individual team members.
