- Read the Epic carefully - try to visualize the full picture of what it would need to provide. Are there steps needed that are not covered by the existing tickets?
- Read an issue that you suspect can be broken down - watch out for any Red Flags (listed below)
- If you identify a Red Flag, try to think of how to make that part of the issue standalone - NOTE: it is ok for issues to form a hierarchy or to depend on one another
- Write a new Story based on the subset of work you've identified, and then link it back to the original ticket
- Check the original ticket again to remove any text / feature that is now covered by the new ticket(s)
NOTE: If you do manage to tease out one or more new issues, link it back to the original by clicking Link Issues and choosing "split from" or "split to"
