What are user stories and who should you consider?
It’s often a good practice to consider different stakeholders when creating user stories. User stories are a way to capture the functionality or features of a system from an end-user’s perspective. In the context of different stakeholders, this means identifying and incorporating the needs and requirements of various user groups.
By creating user stories that cater to the needs of each stakeholder group, you ensure a more well-rounded and inclusive development process. It’s important to engage with stakeholders regularly to gather feedback and refine user stories as needed throughout the project.
