Arguments:
  • $PRODUCT
    : The product or system name
  • $FEATURE
    : The new feature or capability
  • $DESIGN
    : Link to design files (Figma, Miro, etc.)
  • $ASSUMPTIONS
    : Key assumptions and strategic context
采用Why-What-Acceptance(WWA)格式创建产品待办事项,生成具备战略背景的独立、有价值、可测试的事项。
适用场景: 编写待办事项、创建产品增量、将功能拆分为工作项,或向团队传达战略意图时。
参数:
  • $PRODUCT
    :产品或系统名称
  • $FEATURE
    :新功能或能力
  • $DESIGN
    :设计文件链接(Figma、Miro等)
  • $ASSUMPTIONS
    :关键假设和战略背景

Step-by-Step Process

分步流程

  1. Define the strategic Why - Connect work to business and team objectives
  2. Describe the What - Keep descriptions concise, reference designs
  3. Write Acceptance Criteria - High-level, not detailed specifications
  4. Ensure independence - Items can be developed in any order
  5. Keep items negotiable - Invite team conversation, not constraints
  6. Make items valuable - Each delivers measurable user or business value
  7. Ensure testability - Outcomes are observable and verifiable
  8. Size appropriately - Small enough for one sprint estimate
  1. 定义战略层面的Why - 将工作与业务及团队目标关联
  2. 描述具体的What - 描述简洁,参考设计文件
  3. 编写验收标准 - 仅需高层级内容,无需详细规格
  4. 确保独立性 - 事项可按任意顺序开发
  5. 保持协商空间 - 鼓励团队讨论,而非强加约束
  6. 确保价值性 - 每个事项都能为用户或业务带来可衡量的价值
  7. 确保可测试性 - 成果可观察、可验证
  8. 合理估算规模 - 规模足够小,可在一个冲刺周期内完成估算

Example WWA Item

WWA事项示例

Title: Implement Real-Time Spending Tracker
Why: Users need immediate feedback on spending to make conscious budget decisions. This directly supports our goal to improve financial awareness and reduce overspending.
What: Add a real-time spending tracker that updates as users log expenses. The tracker displays their current week's spending against their set budget. Designs available in [Figma link]. This is a reminder of our discussions - detailed specifications will emerge during development conversations with the team.
Acceptance Criteria:
  • Spending totals update within 2 seconds of logging an expense
  • Budget progress is visually indicated with a progress bar
  • Users can see remaining budget amount at a glance
  • System handles multiple expense categories correctly
标题: 实现实时支出追踪器
Why: 用户需要支出的即时反馈,以便做出理性的预算决策。这直接支持我们提升用户财务意识、减少超支的目标。
What: 添加实时支出追踪器,用户记录支出后立即更新。该追踪器显示用户当前周的支出与设定预算的对比。设计文件可查看[Figma链接]。此内容仅作为我们讨论的提示——详细规格将在与团队的开发沟通中逐步明确。
验收标准:
  • 记录支出后,支出总额在2秒内更新
  • 预算进度通过进度条可视化展示
  • 用户可快速查看剩余预算金额
  • 系统可正确处理多种支出类别
