Dwellworks Experience - Lean Agile Playbook 2.01

Story Card/User Story Short, simple descriptions of a feature told from the perspective of the person who desires the new capability, usually a user or customer of the system. They typically follow a simple template: “As a , I want so that ”. User stories are often written on index cards or sticky notes and arranged on walls or tables to facilitate planning and discussion. As such, they strongly shift the focus from writing about features to discussing them. In fact, these discussions are more important than whatever text is written.

As a: Bank Customer I want to: Withdraw money from an ATM

So that: I don’t have to go into the bank and stand in line Acceptance Criteria: Customer is able to withdraw cash from an ATM
