What is User Stories?
A user story is a short description of a feature written from the perspective of the user, typically following the format "as a [user], I want [goal] so that [benefit]." It keeps the product backlog focused on user needs rather than technical implementation details. Teams use user stories to prioritize what to build and to write acceptance criteria for each feature.
