AI-Powered Backlog Refiner is an online course that teaches Product Owners and Scrum Masters a 5-step AI prompting framework called C.R.A.F.T. — turning any vague stakeholder request into a complete, sprint-ready User Story with Acceptance Criteria, Gherkin scenarios, and an INVEST quality check. 20 video lectures • 115 minutes • 7 PDF toolkits • Real case study • Private community.

Sound familiar?

Backlog Refinement Is Broken

30–90 Minutes Per Story

More time formatting than thinking about what to build. Multiply by 10 stories per sprint.

"Not Ready" in Sprint Planning

Missing acceptance criteria, vague requirements, no edge cases. Every sprint.

2-Hour Refinement Meetings

Your team debates wording instead of value. Half the meeting is writing from scratch.

At 10 stories per sprint that's 6+ hours every two weeks. About 156 hours per year. Almost a full month of work spent formatting instead of thinking about what to build.

The solution

Shift From Writer to Editor

80% of refinement is pattern-based labor. AI handles patterns. Your expertise stays yours. One minute prompting, seven minutes editing.

Professional confidently working at organized desk

10x Faster Story Writing

1 minute prompting + 7 minutes editing.

Zero "Not Ready" Rejections

Quality gate built into the process.

Edge Cases You'd Never Catch

AI surfaces 8–15 from pattern recognition.

6 Hours Saved Per Sprint

10 × 10 min vs 10 × 45 min = 5h 50m back.

This isn't for everyone. Skip it if:

×You've never written a User Story or run a Sprint. Start with the basics first. C.R.A.F.T. assumes you know the fundamentals.
×Your company forbids any AI tools. C.R.A.F.T. needs an LLM (any one will do, including on-premise).
×Your refinement is already under 15 minutes per story. The savings will be smaller. The course is built for teams who waste 30 to 90 minutes.
×You want a tool that writes stories with no human review. Look elsewhere. C.R.A.F.T. keeps you in the editor's seat. AI drafts, you decide.
Agile team collaborating

Context → Raw → Ask → Force → Test

Five steps. Five prompts. One sprint-ready story.

The framework

5 Steps. 5 Prompts. One Sprint-Ready Story.

C

Context Injection

Tell AI your product, users, tech stack, and conventions. Write it once, reuse for months.

→ AI references your actual team context from now on

R

Raw Request Capture

Paste the exact stakeholder words. Don't clean up. The messy email IS the input.

→ AI asks 3–5 clarifying questions for your stakeholder

A

Ask for Structure

One prompt generates the complete User Story: title, As a/I want/So that, 4–7 AC, dependencies, risks.

→ You'll never stare at a blank page again

F

Force Edge Cases

AI catches 8–12 edge cases and classifies each as AC, separate story, or team risk.

→ Surprises happen in your prompt, not your standup

T

Test & Validate

Generate Gherkin scenarios + color-coded INVEST scorecard. If it passes, it's sprint-ready.

→ No more rejections in Sprint Planning

Before / After

From "Just Build It" to a Story Your Team Will Build

A real example from the Moj Raspored case study (the scheduling app that started this whole framework). Stakeholder request on the left. C.R.A.F.T. output on the right. Ten minutes apart.

BEFORE · Friend's phone call (transcript)

"Hey Dejan, I run a small clinic with 4 doctors and patients keep calling at random hours to book. Can you build something? Like Google Calendar but simpler. Patients should book themselves online so reception isn't on the phone all day. Cancellations too, we get a lot of those. Reminder texts would be nice. Need it in like a month?"

No acceptance criteria. No edge cases. No definition of "simple." Two hours of refinement waiting to happen.

AFTER · C.R.A.F.T. output (10 min)

User Story

As a clinic patient, I want to book an appointment with a specific doctor online, so I don't need to call reception during office hours.

Acceptance Criteria (7 testable)

  • → View 14 days of availability per doctor
  • → Book in 3 clicks, no account required
  • → Confirmation email/SMS within 30 seconds
  • → Booked slots leave availability instantly
  • → Cancel up to 4 hours before via unique link
  • → Reception sees bookings in real time
  • → 20-min default per slot, configurable per doctor

Edge cases caught: 8

Two patients clicking the same slot. SMS bouncing on a typo. Doctor blocking personal time mid-day. Cancellations under the 4-hour rule. (Plus 4 more in the case study walkthrough.)

INVEST scorecard

I ✓   N ✓   V ✓   E ✓   S ⚠ (split candidate)   T ✓

Module 4 of the course walks through every prompt that produced this output, including the messy ones that didn't work the first time.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

C.R.A.F.T. stands for Context Injection, Raw Request Capture, Ask for Structure, Force Edge Cases, and Test & Validate. Five copy-paste prompts that turn any vague request into a sprint-ready User Story.

Product Owners and Scrum Masters with 1–5 years of experience who understand Scrum basics but waste hours manually refining vague requests.

All of them: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, or on-premise solutions like Ollama, Azure OpenAI, and Copilot Enterprise.

Currently in production. Join the waitlist for $29 to lock in the early-bird price and get first access when it goes live. Price increases after launch.

No. C.R.A.F.T. replaces manual prep. Your meetings become 30 min instead of 2 hours because the team starts from an 80%-complete draft.

The Product Bible solves this. Module 5 teaches you to build a reusable context block. The case study uses a niche TV production domain as proof.

Yes, plus a personal upgrade. The 10-Story Promise: try C.R.A.F.T. on your next 10 stories. If they don't save you at least 5 hours, email me your prompts and outputs. I'll rewrite them for your domain free of charge. If they still don't save you time, full refund within 30 days. You keep the videos, PDFs, and the User Story Mastery bonus regardless.
