This document describes the user story refinement process used for Project GATE, a cross-platform mobile app. It details how the process evolved over time from 1) large user stories created by a separate design team to 2) splitting stories based on screen flows to 3) using two concurrent design teams to reduce lead time. The current process involves an extended design team with representatives from each function to refine rough designs and user stories in meetings. Continuous process improvement is emphasized based on team feedback.
