    A user story is clear and concise information given to the scrum team by the product owner. Which outlines the requirements that a customer wants in their product.

    A user story is an excellent starting point where the product owner, scrum team and scrum master can understand the needs of customers/users. They can transparently see what needs to be done.

    User stories are the backbone of agile projects, describing what users want from a product. They capture who wants what, why, and the benefit.

    A great user story provides a clear and concise description of a product feature. It answers the questions of who, what and why and provides the development team with clear information on what outcome is needed.

    The way a user story is scaffolded really resonates with me. I also really like the fact that it all starts with three simple questions that SHOULD be easy to answer, and is a solid framework that allows it to be repeated with minor edits for each user story (As a (user) I want a (goal) so that I can (achieve value)).

    I continue to be inspired by how familiar a lot of these concepts are to my experiences with teaching, directing, and even acting. The best way to approach a complex problem is to break it down into digestible/doable pieces. The simplicity of the format for user stories keeps the focus concise. Including the why keeps the team focused on the value they are moving to create and puts the end user in the spotlight. User stories also keep the Agile values central, especially being people centered. User stories also guide the conversation around them and adjusting them via acceptance criteria and clarifies the task further.

    User stories are independent, valuable statements written from a customer perspective used for capturing and communicating requirements.

    My understanding of a User Story is having an outline of Who, What, and Why for a product that will help the team understand what the final picture is expected to look like and achieve for its customers.

    This video did a great job of answering questions of mine regarding the definition of a "user story". I now understand that a User Story is the definition of a project, written in story form: (This User) wants (this product) that solves (this problem) so that they can be awesome (in this way)/ achieve (this goal). The Acceptance Criteria is, essentially, a a definition of success on which a team agrees: We will know that we have met our goal in creating this product when it does (this), (this), and (this, etc.). I love this method of defining a project- I believe that most humans connect best in the story form of communication, as it keeps the broader contexts of a project in focus.
    A question that I had after watching this video is: what is an Acceptance Criteria? I gathered what it is from reading some of the comments. But by the end of the video, if one does not previously come from a tech production background, one may wonder as I did, if an Acceptance Criteria is a list that outlines the questions a team has about the project"s criteria, that must be verified by the customer, by which a team determines whether they will accept a project; or, whether it is a simple definition by which we can know when the project is done and functions as our customer needs it to function. I have now realized that it is the latter. However, I thought it may add some value to mention this because I do not see that term defined so far in the course. I may not be the only one who wondered. ;)

    As a social worker, we are trianed to write so much for documentation purpose and assessments thats why I think I like User Story. Three simple words and you can write as much or little for each words and it will be the same. Its also nice that this whole manifesto is a tean work and not individuality.

    A user story is a great way to keep the Agile framework progressing. It shows the development team who they are developing for, what the goal is, and what kind of value it can bring to the customer. The Acceptance Criteria creates a solid end goal, and the user stories make it so that the end goal can be reached in multiple ways.

    My understanding of a user story is that is something that the team uses to gain perspective to what the customer wants. The user story should be something small enough that it can be added during a sprint and completed in a few days that the whole dev team understands the importance of it being added and what it means for it to be successfully added through pass fail tests.
