The Role of Agile User Stories: Don’t Miss to Check!

In an agile system, a user story is the smallest unit of work

[{"selector":"#anim-c4c9bc0f-b4a9-45e2-92d0-ac2c2a33eb6e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(17.1612155269518%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It is an end goal, not a feature, articulated from the standpoint of the software user

[{"selector":"#anim-496ad17c-9ae3-4f36-90c1-61961bb75556 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

A user story's objective is to communicate how a piece of work will provide a specific value to the client

[{"selector":"#anim-3e6685fd-8009-4f3e-bd96-612714b3aa5c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

User stories enable team members to cooperate on ways to better satisfy the demands of end users

[{"selector":"#anim-fe0ace6f-468a-466a-97e6-5ccd1b378d58 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

There is a common overall format for user stories “As a (Who), I want (What) so that (Why)”

[{"selector":"#anim-49522dbd-c42b-4cf4-84a6-428588c5a56c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

You can create great user stories by follow the criteria set by I.N.V.E.S.T which means

[{"selector":"#anim-affdaccb-ef78-46d6-aa27-a6ee4247e784 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-6.250000083790017%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

I - Independent N - Negotiable V - Valuable E - Estimable S - Small T - Testable

[{"selector":"#anim-33f2c597-3eb8-4382-923b-4c2970c2deb1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(10.265172637909343%, 11.983528987435042%) scale(1.3311258278145695)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The 3 C’s of user stories are-
