Product Owner: War Stories

Inspired by the not-yet-best-seller XP and Scrum from the Trenches by Henrik Kniberg from now on I will start to share with you my war stories as a Product Owner in a Scrum team.

Expect it to be posted as quick and basic notes, since I am very busy these days and I'm studying Scrum hard :)

Today's note: Big stories (an "epic", as Mike Cohn would say in User Stories Applied) have the potential to fail being delivered no matter the size your sprint has.

That's why it is strongly recommended you slice your "epic" in small stories ;) PLUS, if you have a big story and your team fail miserably at the end of the sprint, delivering little to none "potentially shippable software", your team is going to feel so bad you are going to need team therapy :)

I appreciate ur feedback!
