User story
A User Story is a small, independent behavior that can be implemented incrementally, and provides some value to the user. To ensure incremental development each story is split as necessary so they can be completed within the sprint.
User Story Format
As a <role/service> I want <activity / ask/ desire > So that, <Business value / Benefit >
Example
As a user,
I want to add Products to the Shopping cart
So that, I can finalize the products to buy and check the Total bill.
Good User Story
A good user story format should have a Title, be Narrative, and should have an Acceptance Criteria. The team should constantly be guided through development with the user in mind. Who is using the system, what are they using the system for, why are they doing it and what is the benefit or business value for them.
