User Stories format
As a (type of user), I want to (perform some action) so that I (can achieve some goal/result/value).”
Purpose of a user story
The purpose of user stories is to explain the roles of users in a system, their desired activities, and what they intend to accomplish by successfully completing a user story. For Agile teams, user stories are the primary method of identifying user needs.
What are acceptance criteria?
Acceptance criteria are a formalized list of requirements that ensure that all user stories are completed and all scenarios are taken into account.
Put simply, acceptance criteria specify conditions under which a user story is fulfilled.
Concisely written criteria help development teams avoid ambiguity about a client’s demands and prevent miscommunication.
What are acceptance criteria used for?
- To define boundaries - Acceptance criteria help development teams define the boundaries of a user story. In other words, acceptance criteria help you confirm when the application functions as desired, meaning that a user story is completed.
- To reach consensus. Having acceptance criteria synchronizes the development team with the client. The team knows exactly what conditions should be met, just as the client knows what to expect from the app.
- To serve as a basis for tests. Last but not least, acceptance criteria are a cornerstone of positive and negative testing aimed at checking if a system works as expected.
- To allow for accurate planning and estimation. Acceptance criteria scenarios allow for the correct division of user stories into tasks so user stories are correctly estimated and planned.
