User Story

A concise statement of the value a specific user will gain from a deliverable, serving as a commitment to discuss and clarify the details through conversation.

Key Points

  • Captures value from the user's perspective and is kept small and focused.
  • Often written as: "As a [role], I want [feature], so that [benefit]".
  • Functions as a placeholder for conversation; specifics are refined collaboratively.
  • Acceptance criteria define Done and guide estimation, testing, and planning.

Example

As an online banking customer, I want to set travel notices so that my card is not declined while I am abroad. The product owner and team will discuss details such as notice duration, destinations, and security verification, then define acceptance criteria (e.g., notices can be added, edited, expire automatically, and trigger a confirmation email).

PMP Example Question

Which statement best describes a user story in an Agile project?

  1. A comprehensive requirements document that fully specifies system behavior.
  2. A short, user-centered description of value that invites a follow-up conversation to clarify details.
  3. A technical task list used by developers to break down work.
  4. A summary of lessons learned captured during the sprint retrospective.

Correct Answer: B — Short, value-focused description that prompts conversation

Explanation: A user story highlights user value and serves as a reminder to collaborate on the details, not a complete specification or task list.
