A team has a large backlog item that describes a broad capability. To make it ready for an upcoming iteration, the team needs to break it down. What is the result of this decomposition?

A set of acceptance criteria for the epic

A prioritized list of features for the release

A list of tasks for the team to execute

Smaller user stories that can be completed within a single iteration

A product owner is prioritizing the backlog for a release that must meet a tight deadline. The stakeholders have identified several features, but the team is concerned that some features are too large to fit into the release. The product owner needs to prioritize the features and ensure the team can deliver them. What should the product owner do?

Use relative weighting to prioritize features, then estimate the top features.

Prioritize the features using MoSCoW and then decompose the 'Must' features into smaller stories.

Estimate all features using Planning Poker and then prioritize based on size.

Decompose all features into smaller stories first, then prioritize.

During backlog refinement, the team identifies a user story that is still too large to be completed in one iteration. What should the team do to make it actionable?

Increase the team's velocity to accommodate the large story

Estimate the story with a larger number to reflect its size

Move the story to the top of the backlog to ensure it is worked on first

Split the story into smaller stories that each deliver value and fit in an iteration
