Have you or someone you know ever been stuck with pages of requirements notes having to turn those into user story format (As a [persona], I [want to], [so that])?

If so, first of all, we're sorry. Secondly, we want to help you know that there are other—and better—ways to dealing with this situation, and that's what this episode is all about.

Tune into this episode to hear a brief history of user stories and get back to the WHY behind them so that your user stories function the way they're supposed to.
