Slicing Event Models

Interview Phase (Optional)

When to Interview: Skip if the user has already specified: available team capacity, sprint duration, MVP scope/timeline, and critical path requirements. Interview when implementation planning details haven't been discussed or when you want to help identify MVP scope.

Interview Strategy: Understand team capacity and timeline constraints to create realistic implementation slices. This shapes MVP scope and parallel work planning.

Critical Questions

When implementation planning is needed:

1. Available Team Capacity (Impact: Determines how many slices can be built in parallel)
   • Question: "How many teams/people are available? (A) 1 team (solo), (B) 2-3 teams, (C) 4+ teams"
   • Why it matters: More capacity enables parallel work; small teams need fewer slices to avoid idle time
   • Follow-up triggers: If (A) → plan sequential slices; if (C) → maximize parallel work
