agile-product-owner_skill

Overview

This skill is an agile product owner toolkit built for senior Product Owners to streamline backlog management and sprint execution. It creates INVEST-compliant user stories, generates acceptance criteria, and supports sprint planning and velocity tracking. Use it to produce consistent stories, plan capacity-driven sprints, and communicate priorities clearly.

How this skill works

The toolkit inspects epics and raw feature descriptions, then breaks them into INVEST-compliant user stories with automatic acceptance criteria and point estimates. It validates stories against INVEST rules, assigns priority, and can assemble a sprint based on provided capacity. It also tracks completed work to compute velocity and basic sprint metrics for retrospective analysis.

When to use it

• Writing or refining user stories from epics or feature requests
• Preparing a sprint based on team capacity and priorities
• Creating clear acceptance criteria for development and QA
• Prioritizing backlog items for stakeholder alignment
• Tracking velocity and basic sprint metrics for retrospectives

Best practices

• Feed clear, scoped epics to get precise story breakdowns
• Provide realistic team capacity when planning sprints
• Review generated acceptance criteria with QA and stakeholders before committing
• Use automatic estimates as starting points, then adjust with the team
• Keep stories small and independent to maintain true INVEST compliance

Example use cases

• Generate a set of INVEST-compliant stories from a new product epic
• Run sprint planning to fill a sprint based on a 30-point capacity
• Automatically create acceptance criteria to hand off to QA
• Prioritize backlog after stakeholder input and re-run capacity planning
• Track velocity across multiple sprints to forecast delivery dates
