How it works

  1. 1
    Describe your feature

    A one-liner, a paragraph, or a rough concept. The more specific you are, the more realistic the example stories.

  2. 2
    See what good looks like

    SPM generates example stories that demonstrate INVEST compliance: properly scoped, role-specific, with a concrete benefit. Each shows you the structure to replicate.

  3. 3
    Use as template or copy directly

    If the examples fit your feature, copy them into Jira. If not, use them as a template for writing your own. Either way, you leave knowing what a good user story looks like.

What you get

Concrete examples, not blank templates

You see stories filled in for YOUR feature, not generic placeholders. The role, action, benefit, and criteria are all specific to what you described.

Shows proper scoping

Each example demonstrates how to scope a story to a single user need. See how broad features decompose into properly-sized stories.

Acceptance criteria included

Every example includes Given/When/Then acceptance criteria so you see the full story structure, not just the headline.

Traceable to your input

Examples map back to specific aspects of the feature you described. Nothing made up, nothing out of scope.

FAQ

What makes a good user story example?
A good example specifies a real user role (not just "user"), a single action with clear scope, a benefit that connects to business value, and acceptance criteria written at the right level of detail. SPM applies these standards to every example.
Can I use these as templates?
Yes. The examples follow the standard "As a [role], I want [action], so that [benefit]" format with Given/When/Then criteria. Swap in your specific context to produce stories for adjacent features.
Do I need an account to see examples?
No. 2 free example sets, no account required. Sign in with Google for unlimited access and 30 expert document reviews.
How many examples will I get per feature?
Typically 3 to 6 stories per input, depending on how many distinct user needs your feature description implies. Each story is a separate, independent unit.
