Скачать или смотреть Thin Slices vs Story Points: Better Backlog Grooming for Engineering Teams

Most engineering teams struggle with backlog grooming because they focus on estimating story points and debating technical implementation rather than defining user value. In this episode, we discuss why traditional grooming becomes solutioning—and how thin slices enable faster iteration and better outcomes.

🎯 What You'll Learn:
• Why story points create false precision and slow teams down
• How to identify true thin slices that deliver vertical value
• The difference between grooming (defining what) and solutioning (planning how)
• Practical techniques for journey-based testing
• How to maintain ubiquitous language across product and engineering
• Why premature technical planning hurts iteration speed

💡 Key Insight:
The best backlog grooming sessions ask "What does the user need to accomplish?" not "How should we build this?" Save the technical planning for after you've clearly defined the user value you're delivering.
