Use case
Planned
Backlog grooming
Break an outcome into issues — estimated, sequenced and ready to assign — instead of grooming a backlog by hand.
The stage, and what it produces
What it is
From an approved spec, a delivery agent proposes the breakdown: issues, dependencies, estimates and a delivery order. You review it, and Smart Assign can route each issue to the right owner — person or coding agent.
