“As a User I want to push a button So that it is pushed”
I cringe at these kind of user stories. This one is over the top, but I see user stories often looking like this.
This is the template:
As a [type of user/persona], I want [an action] so that [a benefit/a value]
So, a User is not specific enough. Is it the System Administrator or the receptionist? This is an enormous difference in knowledge of the user doing the action.
Push a button is just one implementation to perform an action. Don’t describe the implementation, but the action you want. Like ‘Delete a Contact’ or ‘Send Survey to a Contact’.
The last part of the User Stories is usually the most interesting part, but often neglected. It tells the “Why”. The benefit or value for the company, customer, or user.
Don’t neglect this part and try to write the real reason who is benefiting from this user story.
