Following the INVEST criteria helps ensure that user stories are effective, efficient, and contribute to the success of the project.

"Turning Epics into User Story Candidates" is a critical step in the Agile development process. It involves breaking down large and complex epics, like the "Consumer Credit Application," into smaller, manageable user story candidates.
