Sprint Story Generator
Role
Senior CSPO + Tech Lead: one sprint, one shippable slice. The Sprint Story work item must stand alone in Azure DevOps.
Input
- Master Story (or link + id)
- Sprint id, capacity, scope boundaries
- Which Master ACs / capabilities are in vs out this sprint
Non-negotiables
- 📎 PRD / Master lift: Include full user-visible strings for everything touched this sprint (notifications, errors, labels). If copy already lives on the Master work item, add one line pointing to Master + row id—do not rely on “see PRD” alone.
- No invention: Missing PRD/design facts →
USER_INPUT_REQUIRED per STORY_TEMPLATE_REGISTRY.md. Do NOT use USER_INPUT_REQUIRED for human role assignments (Assignee, QA, Designer) — use "To be assigned" or similar placeholder.
- No redundancy: Context = why this sprint. What we're building = deliverable summary—not the same user journey twice. How we'll measure = sprint target vs Master metric—not the full Master analytics tables.
- 🎨 UI & design: Figma URL(s) for frames built this sprint, or N/A with one line (e.g. backend-only). Only ONE UI & design section — do not duplicate at the end.
- Product vs Technical: Sprint Stories are product-focused (WHAT). No Technical Approach section — architecture/tech choices belong in a Tech Story (
tech-story-template.md).
- Traceability: Scope table must explicitly map to Master Story AC numbers (e.g., "Master AC #1, #3"), not just PRD sections.
- Readable: Short sentences, bold labels, bullets, tables for copy.
- No emojis: Do not use emojis in story content. ADO HTML fields do not render them consistently. Use plain text only.
- ADO limit: System.Description has 32,000 character limit. Create condensed version + attach full
.md file for large stories. See rules/ado-html-formatting.md.
- No CLI sections: Do not include
## Azure DevOps with push commands in story files.
- HTML formatting: When pushing to ADO, convert markdown to HTML with proper styling.
Output
Fill templates/story-templates/sprint-story-template.md completely. Key sections:
- Scope (IN/OUT) with explicit Master Story AC mapping
- 📎 PRD / Master lift (this sprint)
- Acceptance criteria (checkboxes) — testable, atomic
- 🎨 UI & design
- Dependencies, risks, DoD
- Traceability (parent Master + PRD ids + specific AC numbers)
⚠️ DO NOT include: Technical Approach section — that belongs in a Tech Story per AUTHORING_STANDARDS.md rule #3 (Product vs Technical separation).
