User Stories

Introduction

A User Story describes functionality that will be valuable to either a user or purchaser of a system or software. User stories are composed of three aspects:

• a written description of the story used for planning and as a reminder
• conversations about the story that serve to flesh out the details of the story
• tests that convey and document details and that can be used to determine when a story is complete

User Stories are not use cases: a use case is a generalized description of a set of interactions between the system and one or more actors, where an actor is either a user or another system. Use cases may be written in unstructured text or to conform with a structured template.

User Stories are not Scenarios: a scenario is a detailed description of a user's interaction with a computer; an interaction design scenario is typically larger, or more encompassing, than even a use case
