They\u2019re brief, specific, and quickly understood.<\/p>\n<p>Every user story includes three main characteristics:<\/p>\n<p>1. It tells the story of the problem or need that the user will solve through a particular piece of product functionality.<\/p>\n<p>2. It\u2019s meant to be a living story that can be updated and modified as a project evolves<\/p>\n<p>3. It provides sufficient information for developers and designers to understand the <i>functional <\/i>need, but doesn\u2019t go into the details of <i>how <\/i>these should be addressed from a technical or design perspective.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we\u2019ll look at how to write a simple user story that focuses the UX design on specific tasks. I\u2019ve based the user story template on what\u2019s worked best in my experience as a product manager and designer.<\/p>\n<h2>The User Story Template<\/h2>\n<p>As explained in the Guide to UX Design Process &amp; Documentation, a user story has three main components:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Summary<\/li>\n<li>Details<\/li>\n<li>Priority<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>1. Summary<\/h3>\n<p>The summary is basically a statement that tells the story of what the user would like to achieve. The general format for the summary is:<\/p>\n<p><i>As a user I can &lt;perform a certain action or achieve a certain goal&gt;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s imagine that we\u2019re building a web platform that allows consumers to search for doctors in their area and schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-21-at-9.57.15-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-01-21 at 9.57.15 PM\" width=\"720\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-21-at-9.57.15-PM.png 984w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-21-at-9.57.15-PM-595x300.png 595w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthgrades.com\/find-a-doctor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Health Grades<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Examples of user story summaries that would be needed for this type of platform include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As a user I can create an account<\/li>\n<li>As a user I can login to my account<\/li>\n<li>As a user I can search for a doctor by specialty<\/li>\n<li>As a user I can search for a doctor by zipcode<\/li>\n<li>As a user I can search for a doctor by insurance provider<\/li>\n<li>As a user I can book an appointment<\/li>\n<li>As s user I can modify an appointment<\/li>\n<li>As as user I can cancel an appointment<\/li>\n<li>As a user I can reset my password<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, each user summary presents the user\u2019s <i>goal <\/i> &#8211; e.g. search by zipcode &#8211; and as such, communicates to both the design and dev team that a search <i>functionality <\/i>is needed here.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Details<\/h3>\n<p>The details piece of an Agile user story spells out how particular functionality will work.<\/p>\n<p>Using the example of platform for location doctors, let\u2019s take this user story:<\/p>\n<p><i>As a user, I can create an account<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-21-at-9.58.14-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-01-21 at 9.58.14 PM\" width=\"488\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-21-at-9.58.14-PM.png 488w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-21-at-9.58.14-PM-406x300.png 406w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/user.healthgrades.com\/Account\/Register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Health Grades<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>We can then write out the following details:<\/p>\n<p>i. User clicks on account creation option<\/p>\n<p>ii. User is prompted to fill in the following fields:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First Name<\/li>\n<li>Last Name<\/li>\n<li>Username<\/li>\n<li>Password<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>iii. The following rules will apply to each field<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First and Last Name: text only fields. Limited to 60 characters<\/li>\n<li>Username: text and numeric field. Limited to 20 characters<\/li>\n<li>Password: must be at least 9 characters, with at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 number and 1 special character<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Priority<\/h3>\n<p>The priority index helps the product manager ensure that the Agile product team is focusing on the most important features first.<\/p>\n<p>You can present the priority in three differents ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>T-shirt sizing<\/b>: S, M, L (small, medium, large)<\/li>\n<li><b>Urgency index<\/b>: L, M, H (low, medium, high)<\/li>\n<li><b>MoSCoW rating<\/b>: M, S, C, W (Must, Should, Could, Won\u2019t). This method of prioritization is mainly linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agilebusiness.org\/page\/ProjectFramework_10_MoSCoWPrioritisation\">DSDM<\/a>, another Agile methodology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The method you choose is often a matter of preference for the product owner, product manager, and wider product team.<\/p>\n<p>Several factors influence the priority index of a user story:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Business objectives: <\/b>A user story that directly influences a company\u2019s revenue objectives or another KPI (such as reducing support tickets, customer retention or acquisition rates, churn rate, etc.) will get a higher index than stories that are nice-to-haves<\/li>\n<li><b>Functional dependencies: <\/b>If multiple user stories can only be implemented <i>after <\/i>a particular story, then the latter becomes critical and gets a higher index value.<\/li>\n<li><b>Dev time required:<\/b> If a user story is evaluated by the dev team as being quick to implement <i>and <\/i>it\u2019s essential for achieving business objectives, then the story moves up in priority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"uxpin-trial-widget\"><h2>Join the world's best designers who&nbsp;use UXPin.<\/h2><span class=\"white-info\">Sign up for a free trial.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/sign-up\" class=\"btn btn-flat sign-up-btn white\">Try it for free!<\/a><\/section>\n<h2>User Stories and the Product Backlog<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve created a user story, it becomes part of the product backlog.<\/p>\n<p>The backlog is very often a spreadsheet &#8211; anything from an Excel table or a table in a project management tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlassian.com\/software\/confluence\">Confluence<\/a>. The backlog is the collection of user stories and it\u2019s a living document that is updated as user stories are completed.<\/p>\n<p>Each line item in a backlog represents a user story. In addition to the main components of a user story that I\u2019ve listed above, the backlog may also contain information such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Status (in-progress, done)<\/li>\n<li>Sprint (sprint to which the user story is assigned to)<\/li>\n<li>Comments (any additional supporting information for the designer or developer)<\/li>\n<li>Mockup\/screenshot (this can be a link to a sketch or final photoshop design of a screen)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-21-at-9.59.05-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-01-21 at 9.59.05 PM\" width=\"635\" height=\"182\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whether your backlog will contain some, all, or none of these additional pieces of information depends on what works best for each product team.<\/p>\n<h2>How User Stories Improve UX Design<\/h2>\n<p>The beauty of the user story is that it describes the functional need, without diving into details about technical or design implementation.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re focusing on problems first before prescribing any solutions. Save the details of how to design a the solution for the sprint planning and design planning sessions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Each user story in a backlog helps designers understand the user need(s).<\/li>\n<li>When you combine the information with additional user data (such as personas), market data (such as competitive analysis) and an understanding of business objectives, UX designers are much better to triangulate their decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you think about it, UX is really one huge puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>A user story allows the designer to see all the individual little pieces required for the product. The designer can then iterate solutions for how to fit those little pieces together into a seamless user experience.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/yellow-metal-design-decoration-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"yellow-metal-design-decoration\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/yellow-metal-design-decoration-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/yellow-metal-design-decoration-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the Agile process, the designers, developers and product manager can all discuss any potential concerns about each story during the sprint planning session.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Designers can talk to developers about their vision for the UI and get immediate feedback on technical feasibility as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visme.co\/timeline-maker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">timelines<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>These discussions might then inspire team members to propose alternative solutions that are more user-friendly, cost-effective, and innovative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, the real power of the user story lies in its ability to spark productive conversations. Use them as a tool for visualizing functionality, but understand that they\u2019re a collaborative tool.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t treat user stories as laws carved in stone.<\/p>\n<p><i>For more smart ways on using documentation to drive the design process, download the <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxpin.com\/studio\/ebooks\/guide-to-ux-design-process-and-documentation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i>Guide to UX Design &amp; Process Documentation<\/i><\/a><i>.
