An often used best practice is to define User Stories according to the acronym ‘INVEST’. The ‘S’ of ‘INVEST’ means Small.
Regarding the User Story in a Sprint, what must be small?
A. the number of Sprints needed to realize the User Story
B. the number of team members involved
C. the Story Points or Ideal Hours involved
D. the length of the written-out User Story
C. the Story Points or Ideal Hours involved. User Stories at the top of the Product Backlog, and thus Stories in the Sprint, have to be small. They need to be small to ensure that they fit into 1 Sprint and that they are defined precisely enough.
