Where does it start from??Lets take an example of Boogle developing its mail application.The Boogle team gets a requirement from their management saying that they need to develop Mail application and release it in the market.The person, that takes the requirement from the field/customer/sales team is whom we call the PRODUCT OWNER

Product OwnerProduct Owner is responsible to stuff the teams with the requirementsDecide the priority of the items in the Product BacklogFix the timelines of the items in the Product BacklogBe a SPOC from the customer side in case of any change in requirements or delay in timelines

Market Requirement DocumentThe product owner writes the need of a mail application in a document called MRD- Market Requirement Document.In that, he mentions the story in simple lines like The market requires a mail application that caters to the communication needs of the individuals, groups and companies.Now, the product owner meets his techie guys and discusses the MRD.Now, it is these people that discuss on how this story can be realized.

EpicsThe team of the product owner will normally consist of Business Analysts, Subject Matter Experts and some people in other technical roles.They read the simple story in the MRD and break it down into further possible stories called Epics.Further understanding of Epics is made and discussed in this team.

Example of how it goes till nowFor the MRD story of Boogle, the Epics can be derived as follows:Work on Sending a mailWork on Receiving a mailWork on Searching a mail in the inboxWork on managing the mailbox size and archivingWork on deciding which mail should go into Spamand so on
