4. Requirements gathering and presentation

4.1. User stories

A method for gathering data for specification requirements is to offer examples, which can take the form of user stories. User stories are beneficial in deciding and prioritizing the value of the feature included in the app. An template from Davies & Mueller of how user stories work is presented below:

(Davies & Mueller, 2020)

Usually, the stories that can be split into smaller stories are called epics, and data for the epics can be generated through different story points that take into account every user's need (Davies & Mueller, 2020). The user stories are useful because they describe the type of user for each action, the tasks and aims for each user, and what value each feature brings (Davies & Mueller, 2020).

Another example of a user story form the Smoke Free Together app is included below.
