Introduction on how to write User Stories

User stories are a critical part of the product design process. They're essential in helping define requirements and prioritize features. In this video I walk you through how to write a user story and use them in your product design process!

If you're new here, hi! I'm Femke and I'm a product designer at a large tech company, making videos about design and research. On the side I co-host a podcast, travel and enjoy cooking.

“Map the stories to the journey” - that’s sage advice (why didn’t I think of that!)

Great video! As a business analyst I'm familiar with user stories. My process was very similar but after the story I added acceptance criterias, I can do this, I can't do that, these really helped me identify edge cases, I think these are really important in the developement process. After this I also added some examples with real data, these help the dev team understand the story. Actually as I'm trying myself as a UX guy I'm a little bit stuck now with a problem and your video helped me, reminded me to focus on the user and try to forget features so I went back to square one with my process and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now :) Thanks!

Hi Femke, I’m a soon-to-be UX designer based in Utrecht. I’m here because I listened to your podcast on Flux. Very cool story and I felt there were some similarities with mine (although mine is a light-version). After finished my studies (both in a non-design field) I figured out that I wanted to work as (UX) designer. To cut a long story short, this week I got hired to do a UX traineeship at a cool company! I subscribed to your channel, can’t wait for more vids! Thanks, Bart

Hi, I'm currently struggling on this task, writing user stories. It's very difficult when you have a lot of different users with kind of similar needs but not the same. It's a challenging part that you can't skip (or at least shouldn't....) especially when you have a lot of needs/users.

Very nice video, I like you're method, I'll try it soon.

Goed verhaal over user stories, ik moet er nog mee aan de slag in de toekomst, maar je legt het hier helder uit.

[misalsudhir]
