What are the elements of a successful user story within a product backlog?

Remember to include any story metadata that is helpful to have when managing a backlog. This might include items like the requester, a list of stakeholders, or the date the story was requested.

"A good user story should clearly communicate the user 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. It is also helpful to capture information regarding related epics, the priority, the requester, the date it was requested, scope notes, and the known acceptance criteria."
