02 - 05 Story Slicing

User stories can be sliced or split into smaller stories to make them more manageable. There are several strategies for slicing, such as splitting by user role, business rules, scenarios, processes, or data entry needs. Examples show slicing a story about automatically populating a user's profile data when they log in by splitting the data into smaller groups. Another story about configuring notifications for premium members is sliced by defining each notification type as a separate story. A third story about a customer service representative viewing member profiles is sliced based on access roles like read, create, update or delete.

in with my same member ID and password so I does not have to enter data, and it is already
do not have to remember more than one ID and present. This could even be sliced further into
reenter data. multiple stories by splitting the data into smaller
groups that need to be present and connected to
