User Stories

User stories are short, simple descriptions of a feature told from the perspective of the person who desires the new capability, usually a user or customer. They are a key artifact in Agile and Scrum methodologies, used to capture requirements in a non-technical, value-focused way. A typical format is 'As a [type of user], I want [some goal] so that [some reason].'

🧊Why learn User Stories?

Developers should learn user stories to improve collaboration with stakeholders, prioritize work based on user value, and break down complex requirements into manageable tasks. They are essential in Agile environments like Scrum or Kanban for defining product backlogs, guiding sprint planning, and ensuring the team builds features that meet real user needs, rather than just technical specifications.
