A User Story is a concise description of a user’s need or requirement in simple language. It captures what the user wants to achieve, why it is important and any criteria for success.
Key Components:
- User Role: Identifies who the user is (e.g., “As a customer”).
- Desired Action: Describes what the user wants to do (e.g., “I want to view my order history”).
- Purpose: Explains why this action is important (e.g., “So that I can track my purchases”).
User stories help teams focus on delivering value to users by framing development work around real needs.
