Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs about User Story Formatter
What is a user story?
A user story is a short, simple description of a feature told from the perspective of the person who wants it. The standard format is "As a [role], I want [action], so that [benefit]".
What are acceptance criteria?
Acceptance criteria are conditions that must be met for a user story to be considered complete. They define the scope and expected behaviour of the feature from the user's perspective.
Who should write user stories?
User stories are typically written by the product owner or product manager in collaboration with stakeholders. The whole team — developers, designers, and QA — refines them together.
How many acceptance criteria should a user story have?
A good rule of thumb is 3 to 5 acceptance criteria per story. Too few can leave the story ambiguous; too many often means the story is too large and should be split.
