Ambiguity in planning,
solved with clear user stories!

[User Story] What is it and why is it important?
In Agile development, a user story is not just a list of features, but a core element that defines value from the perspective of the actual user and drives team collaboration. It enables user-centered product development by clarifying 'who it is for,' 'why it is needed,' and 'what value it provides.'Trong phát triển Agile, User Story không chỉ đơn thuần là một danh sách các tính năng, mà là yếu tố cốt lõi giúp định nghĩa giá trị từ góc nhìn của người dùng thực tế và thúc đẩy sự cộng tác trong nhóm. Thông qua đó, nó làm rõ 'cho ai', 'tại sao cần thiết' và 'mang lại giá trị gì', giúp việc phát triển sản phẩm tập trung vào người dùng.


Have you ever experienced a situation where a story becomes more concrete while discussing it with team members, but then deviates from the original intent or gets pushed down the priority list during the actual development stage?

Have you ever felt overwhelmed and unsure of where or how to start when you wanted to break down complex stories into smaller pieces to deliver value to actual users quickly while keeping core features intact?

If you have adopted Agile methodologies but still feel stuck in traditional planning document writing—missing out on true communication with your team and the value users genuinely want—please pay attention.

Through the Mastering User Stories with Jeff Patton course, you will gain a complete understanding of the characteristics of good user stories and learn effective writing skills that can be applied immediately to your work.
