Capturing Requirements from the User's Perspective
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 of the system.
The Standard Format:
A common user story format is: "As a [type of user], I want [some goal] so that [some reason]."
- As a [User Role]: Who are we building this for?
- I want [Goal]: What are they trying to accomplish?
- So that [Benefit]: Why do they want to do this? What value does it provide?
INVEST in Good User Stories:
A good user story is:
- Independent
- Negotiable
- Valuable
- Estimable
- Small

Using the Task Tracker can help your team manage and prioritize these user stories in a visual Kanban board.
