ugh. we plan user stories by quarters and everything after sprint1 is just generic garbage because it generally depends on the results of sprint1.

if I'm leading a project, I avoid this by begging POs to give me a sprint 0 where i solo code out all the scaffolding ground work before all the other engineers join the project.
