Epics may vary in size and complexity, and the story points provided are for illustration purposes. Real story points would be assigned based on your team's estimation process.

Definitions of Ready (DoR):

• The feature is designed and documented.

• All dependencies are identified and resolved.

• Acceptance criteria are well-defined.

• Design has been reviewed and approved.

Definitions of Done (DoD):

• Code is written and reviewed.

• Unit tests and integration tests are passing.

• Code is merged into the main branch.

• Documentation is updated.

• User acceptance testing (UAT) is passed.

• Stakeholders have reviewed and accepted the feature.

Please note that this is a simplified example. In a real software development project, you'd have a more extensive product backlog with many more user stories, tasks, and potential bugs. The story points, DoR, and DoD definitions may also vary according to your team's specific practices and project requirements.
