In fact, when I first began using Scrum, some of our product backlog items were so big that we occasionally opted for six-week sprints. With a bit more experience, though, that team and I saw enough ways to split work that we could have done one-day sprints if we'd wanted.
What I discovered is that almost every story can be split with one of five techniques. Learn those five simple techniques and you're set.
The five I ended up with form the acronym SPIDR-S, P, I, D and R-spider without an E.
