User Story

Writing great user stories is hard. This template breaks down the process into clear sections that help you think through every aspect of your feature, from initial goals to final acceptance criteria.

What makes this template different is its focus on storytelling and context. Instead of jumping straight into requirements, it guides you through articulating the 'why' behind each feature and forces you to capture situational context, intent, and outcome.

Key Features:
1. Situation-First Approach: Using When/Then/That format to capture the full context of user needs
2. Clear Goals Section: Start with the end in mind - what are we really trying to achieve?
3. Context Area: Space to explain the background and importance of the story
4. Structured Requirements: Split between functional and non-functional needs
5. Explicit Scope Boundaries: Clear documentation of what's not included, helping prevent scope creep

This template works great for:
- Product managers who want to write clearer stories
- Teams tired of vague or incomplete requirements
- Organizations looking to standardize their story format
- Anyone who needs to communicate feature needs effectively
