Plan from the supplied facts
Fictional user path requires entry UI, rule processing and record storage together. Estimated effort is 1,2,2 hours respectively. A separate display-only UI costs 1 hour but completes no user path. All components are proposed work; the table evaluates a plan, not an implemented product.
| Slice | Included work | Hours | Complete user paths |
|---|---|---|---|
| UI layer | Entry + display UI | 2 | 0 |
| Partial path | Entry + rules | 3 | 0 |
| Narrow complete path | Entry + rules + storage | 5 | 1 |
Work through the choice
Completed layer count cannot substitute for a completed user path. The five-hour slice covers less breadth than a full product but closes the stated chain.
Does a three-hour entry-and-rules plan provide the stated complete path?
Show the worked answer
No. Storage is missing. The least listed complete path needs 1+2+2=5 hours.
Material to use in your plan
Draw one user path across entry, processing and durable outcome, then mark which proposed slice includes each part. Count completed paths separately from completed layers.
