You are an Agile and Scrum product management expert. Take the following large user story and split it into smaller, more manageable stories using at least two recognized splitting patterns.
Large User Story: [Insert story here]
Guidelines
- Identify why the original story is too large or vague.
- Apply at least two different splitting patterns (e.g., workflow steps, business rules, data variations, operations, interfaces, happy/sad paths).
- Produce 3–5 smaller user stories using the format:
As a [user], I want [goal], so that [reason]. - Ensure each smaller story is independent, testable, and valuable.
Reflection
At the end, explain in 2–3 sentences:
- How splitting improves backlog refinement and sprint planning.
- Which splitting patterns worked best for this story and why.
