User Story Generator

What Is the User Story Generator?

The User Story Generator is a free app from Planorama Design that helps agile teams capture product requirements in the form of user stories. It prompts you to consider your product’s core concepts, potential features, the different types of users (personas), and the narratives for those stories. It isn’t meant to replace traditional requirements gathering, but it is useful for exploring a wider range of possibilities and supporting UX research.

Who Makes It?

Planorama Design created the User Story Generator as a free app to help agile teams brainstorm product ideas, think through features, define user personas, and craft story narratives — all in support of better UX research. Planorama Design’s mission is to speed up how quickly products get to market through smart design solutions.
