…umpf, a big chunk.
✣ ✣ ✣
Get a big thing done.
Why split stories?
- Reduce uncertainty
- Early and faster feedback
- Easier time estimation
- Faster value to customer
- Visible work progress—visible flow
- Clearer responsibility
- Earlier start of work/code/test/execute
- Easier distribution across team
- Easy to debug
- Easy to test and validate
Therefore:
Split it into bite-sized chunks that each deliver value.

✣ ✣ ✣
Because small is beautiful, there is a strong preference for small items, as they:
- enjoy shorter short cycle times;
- show more progress on the kanban board;
- take less effort to complete;
- are easier to understand;
- are easier to test and accept;
- provide a predicable and continuous flow that facilitates expectation management; and
- make “past results are a guarantee for the future” come true, just like yesterday’s weather.
To be specific, in planguage this looks like:
| Small Stories | |
|---|---|
| Scale | Average number of days per item. |
| Meter | Track the number of days per item in a control chart. |
| Wish | ≤ 2 days |
| Goal | ≤ 3 days |
| Must | ≤ 5 days |
| Now | 20 days |
| Therefore |
