How do you break down an epic into user stories?

Tests translating business needs into incremental work. A great answer uses story mapping to define a vertical slice MVP, then creates sprint-ready stories with acceptance criteria. A red flag is just listing features without prioritizing user value.
This tests your ability to deconstruct a large requirement into small, valuable, shippable increments. A strong answer outlines a collaborative process: first, use story mapping with the PM/designer to visualize the user journey. Second, identify the minimum vertical slice (MVP) that delivers value. Third, break that slice into sprint-ready user and technical stories with clear acceptance criteria. A red flag is just listing features without a strategy for incremental delivery or creating stories too large for a sprint.
