What this tool does
The User Story Generator creates well-structured Agile user stories from a simple feature description. Enter the name of a feature, optionally provide context about your project, and the tool produces a set of user stories complete with acceptance criteria, priority levels, and story point estimates.
Each generated story follows the standard Agile format: "As a [role], I want to [action], so that [benefit]." The tool groups stories under an epic, assigns priorities (high, medium, low), and estimates effort using Fibonacci story points. Acceptance criteria use the Given/When/Then format, making them immediately testable.
Whether you are kickstarting a new feature or filling gaps in an existing backlog, this tool gives your team a structured starting point that follows industry best practices.
How user stories work
A user story is a short, informal description of a software feature written from the perspective of the person who will use it. The standard format has three parts:
- **Role**: Who wants the feature (e.g., "end user", "admin", "developer") - **Action**: What they want to do (e.g., "reset my password") - **Benefit**: Why they want it (e.g., "so that I can regain access to my account")
Combined, these form the sentence: "As a [role], I want to [action], so that [benefit]."
**Acceptance criteria** define the conditions that must be true for a story to be considered complete. They follow the Given/When/Then format: - **Given** a specific precondition - **When** the user performs an action - **Then** a certain outcome should occur
**Story points** measure the relative complexity of a story using the Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13). A 1-point story is trivial, while a 13-point story is highly complex and may need to be broken down further.
Who should use this
- **Product Managers**: Quickly draft user stories for new features before refinement sessions - **Scrum Masters**: Generate story templates to kickstart backlog grooming meetings - **Development Teams**: Break down feature requests into actionable, estimable work items - **UX Designers**: Frame design work as user-centered stories with clear acceptance criteria - **Students and Learners**: Understand the Agile user story format through practical examples - **Freelancers and Solo Developers**: Structure your own work using professional Agile practices even without a full scrum team
How to use
1. Enter the name of the feature you want to generate stories for in the Feature Name field 2. Optionally provide additional context about the feature, target audience, or technical constraints in the Description field 3. Select a role perspective from the dropdown to focus stories on a specific user type, or keep "All Roles" for varied perspectives 4. Click "Generate User Stories" and wait for the AI to produce your stories 5. Review the epic summary, individual stories, acceptance criteria, and story point estimates 6. Use the Copy button on individual stories or "Copy All Stories" to export everything to your project management tool
FAQs
Q: How many user stories does the tool generate? A: The tool generates between 3 and 6 user stories per feature, depending on the complexity and context you provide. More detailed descriptions tend to produce more comprehensive story sets.
Q: Can I use these stories directly in Jira, Trello, or Azure DevOps? A: Yes. Use the "Copy All Stories" button to export all stories as plain text, then paste them into your project management tool. Each story includes its ID, priority, story text, acceptance criteria, and point estimate in a structured format.
Q: How accurate are the story point estimates? A: The estimates use the Fibonacci sequence and are based on the apparent complexity of each story. They serve as a starting point for your team's planning poker or estimation sessions. Always adjust them based on your team's velocity and specific technical context.
Q: What is the Given/When/Then format for acceptance criteria? A: Given/When/Then is a structured approach to writing acceptance criteria. "Given" sets up the precondition, "When" describes the user's action, and "Then" specifies the expected outcome. This format makes criteria testable and unambiguous.
Q: Does the tool store my feature descriptions or generated stories? A: No. All processing happens through the AI API in real time. Your inputs and generated stories are not stored on any server after the request completes.
Q: What role perspective should I choose? A: Choose "All Roles" for a broad set of stories from different perspectives. Select a specific role like "End User" or "Admin" when you need stories focused on one user type, such as during a targeted sprint or feature refinement session.
