 User stories have a life-cycle. When we start into a release planning process, we might only have a "top 10" list of features required for this release. These are typically called Epics. Scrum Teams are told that they have to complete an entire user story before moving on to the next one in a Sprint and further that they should have between say 5-10 user stories per sprint. How do we get from the Epic to User Stories of this size? The answer is that we increasingly detail the requirements by splitting the Epic and subsequent User Stories into smaller and smaller User Stories. User stories have a life-cycle.
