G'day,
In order to make your user story a bit more descriptive, can you add:
- the type of user that is performing this user story, and
- a reason why you want to do this to your current user story.
Maybe try using the template:
As a "type of user", I want "some goal" so that "some reason".
for your user stories.
As an example, your user story might then finish up being:
As an story writer, I need to show quotes from other documents that I am using in the current document so that any quotes may be correctly attributed.
Here this would then break down into several finer grained user stories.
- Creation of DB to store the quotes and their origins
- Cross-reference DB to start storing off quotes under their topic to assist future searches.
- The editor for the new document being developed would need to be able to generate and append a bibliography.
- etc.
Generally, if you can't break your user story down into single sprint chunks, it's a sign that the user story is too large. Using the above template helps minimise this.
HTH
