What are the components of a good user story?

Remember to align your response with classic Scrum principles or Agile basics. For example, an interviewer may be confused by a candidate who stated that a user story should contain a complete set of business and technical specifications before it can be developed.

A good user story should communicate who the story is intended to serve, the functionality to be built, and the business value the story should generate. The statements should be as concise as possible and should resonate with the customers they are written to serve as well as the development team.

I also capture information regarding related epics, the priority, the requester, the date the story was requested, scope notes, and the known acceptance criteria. The goal is to document only what is necessary to move the story forward and not to waste time on unnecessary detail or specifications that would limit the creativity of the development team.
