Episode 62 — Decomposition: Splitting Epics, Stories, and Tasks
This episode highlights decomposition as the practice of breaking down large items into smaller, manageable units of work. Candidates learn how epics can be decomposed into user stories, and stories into tasks, to ensure iterative progress and early delivery of value. The session explains the benefits of decomposition, including reduced risk, clearer estimates, and improved transparency.
Examples show how PMI exam scenarios may present over-sized backlog items that create bottlenecks, with the correct solution involving splitting them into thinner slices. Learners are reminded that decomposition is not only about work breakdown but also about enabling faster feedback and adaptability. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
