What is the Story strings template?
The first step in creating a product is understanding who you’re creating it for. Our Story strings template is a design thinking template that invites teams to use story strings to express product requirements while finding unexpected or common themes throughout the user story.
Benefits of using the Story strings template
Our user stories template is a flexible and creative way to highlight common or interesting themes within your user stories while facilitating unexpected “a-ha” moments of enlightenment. The template provides a platform to dive into what users need and how to best address those needs. Fill out your story strings from anywhere, using any device, to create a central source of information that the whole team can work from.
