User Stories are a fundamental element of Agile methodology, capturing business needs from the perspective of end-users. A well-written user story helps teams understand what the user needs and why. It drives clarity, promotes collaboration, and ensures the development team builds features that truly add value.

In this module, you'll learn:

• What a User Story is and its structure (As a [user], I want [goal] so that [reason])

• The INVEST criteria (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable)

• How to break down Epics into smaller user stories

• Tips for writing clear acceptance criteria using the “Given-When-Then” format

You’ll also get hands-on with a practice exercise to create your own user stories and compare them against sample solutions.
