User Story
A user story is a short, plain-language description of a need from the user's perspective — commonly "As a [user], I want [goal] so that [benefit]" — that keeps requirements focused on value rather than implementation.
A user story deliberately stays small and outcome-focused. It is not a spec; it is a placeholder for a conversation about what the user actually needs and why.
Stories become buildable when paired with acceptance criteria that define what "done" means. Without that, a story is a direction, not a requirement.
"As a first-time user, I want to reset my password from the login screen so that I can get back in without contacting support."
ArcPM turns user stories into traceable requirements, linking them to supporting research, prototypes and PRDs through the Connected Product Graph.
