A user story is a way of describing a website or product feature in relation to the person who will use it, how they will use it, and why it is useful.
User stories usually follow the format “as a [role], I want to do [task], so that I can achieve [goal]”. This can also be written “as who, I want what, so that why”.
The role, the task, and the goal are all equally important, and a user story is incomplete without all three being present.
