Agile User Stories
User stories have a specific format, designed to help the author be descriptive and the reader (a developer) to take action:
“As a [persona], I want to [do something] so that I can [derive a benefit]”
If you’re the product person, your job is the fill in the (orange) blanks. The persona is a vivid, humanized, yet operational description of your user. The ‘[do something]’ is a some action you assume the user wants to do, and the ‘[derive a benefit]’ clause is a statement of why you’ve assumed the user persona wants to do what you describe. The [derive a benefit] clause is the most neglected by most creators of agile user stories and yet the most important. The reason why it’s so important is that this is where you’re saying why the feature you’re proposing to build makes sense. The world’s an uncertain place and you don’t necessarily have to be right about why but you User-Stories do need to state your point of view
