ℹ️ Story-building Guidance
The pattern used is:
“As a <USER> who is <SITUATION>, I want to <MOTIVATION> so that I can <PURPOSE / OUTCOME>.”
USER
Who is this story about?
SITUATION
What is the context for this need? Often the situation might be shared by other users, which lets us combine stories later.
MOTIVATION
What’s your goal in this situation?
Try not to pre-define a solution and focus more on what you want to accomplish.
Example: Inform my manager that data is ready for review is better than Send an automatic email to my manager.
PURPOSE / OUTCOME
Why is this important? How does it personally impact you or the organization?
