Select each phase of the project lifecycle that reference User Story Cards in some manner: choose two

In the Guidewire SurePath Agile methodology, the project lifecycle begins with Pre-Inception, where high-level scope is defined using epics or coarse-grained user stories. This initial set of stories helps frame the project vision and initial estimates. The Inception phase follows, where these high-level stories are refined, and a more detailed initial product backlog is created. During Inception, workshops are conducted to break down epics into user stories that are sufficiently detailed for the first few sprints. Both phases are critical for creating and referencing the user story cards that will guide the project's development sprints.

B. Support and Success is a post-implementation phase focused on maintenance and operational stability, not the initial creation or referencing of project story cards.

C. Deployment is the phase focused on releasing the configured software into production. The work is already completed based on the user stories.
