Explanation
Disaggregation is the Agile term for breaking a large user story or feature into smaller, more granular pieces that are easier to estimate, prioritize, and complete within a sprint. This is a common practice when a story is too large or complex to fit in an iteration.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Decomposition (A): Decomposition is a general project management technique (used in WBS creation) for breaking down work packages, but it is not the specific Agile term for splitting stories or features.
- Theme (C): A theme is a high-level grouping or category of related user stories - it is an organizational concept, not a splitting technique.
- Epic (D): An epic is a large user story that has not yet been broken down. It is the input to disaggregation, not the process of splitting itself.
