For each user story: 1) Write the story in proper format with acceptance criteria (given/when/then), 2) Identify technical subtasks the engineering team needs to complete it, 3) Estimate complexity using T-shirt sizing (XS/S/M/L/XL) with reasoning, 4) Identify dependencies and blockers. After creating all stories: check if the sprint scope is realistic for a team of [X engineers] (assume 8 points capacity per engineer per sprint using Medium = 3 points), and recommend which stories to push to the backlog if we are over capacity. Features/stories to include: [list them in plain language].
