User stories help product & marketing teams focus on the user's needs and ensure that the end product is user-centric. A well-written story breaks down complex features into manageable descriptions that explain what users are actually looking for in your product.
Definition: User stories focus on specific user needs and benefits and are written as a concise description of a need or desire from the user's perspective. Stories follow the format: "As [a user], I want [to perform an action] so that [I achieve a goal]."
User stories should be small enough to fit into a single development sprint and contribute to incremental progress. User stories are often written in plain language so everyone in the team understands what you're working towards.
Effective stories are also valuable for product marketers to help fine-tune go-to-market campaigns and product messaging across internal and external channels.
Writing new user stories: How to solve the blank page problem
You've most likely already experienced the "Blank page problem" in the past. This concept refers to the difficulty and anxiety some people feel when starting a new project or writing task.
