What is a user story template? A user story template is a simple formula for writing user stories. It captures the "who,” “what,” and “why” behind an item of agile development work — providing essential context for your agile development team. (Detailed technical requirements come later.)
User stories are often expressed in a simple sentence, structured as follows: “As a [persona], I [want to], [so that].” Breaking this down: "As a [persona]": Who are we building this for?
In User Stories Applied, I described the three elements this way: As a (role), I want (function) so that (business value).
The best template I have found is:
As a <user> I want to <do something> so that <I can accomplish goal>. See the Nine boxes technique to elaborate your user stories. It's not really a template per se, but it leads to filling the "as a user, I want ... so that ..." template, which is very efficient. Mike Cohn is explaining this better than I would.
It also allows to discover non-functional requirements (the ilities).
EDIT: the original link to the nine-boxes page is now cybersquatted but the page is available on the internet archive.
