Agile Development is a process that speeds the delivery of functionality to end users by segmenting a system into pieces for delivery, rather than delivering all of the system functionality in one large implementation. The goal is to reduce the time between requests and delivery of Business Application Systems.

The following template describes the best development practices for writing
Agile User Stories.
The user story should include the following:
1. Title
2. As a [user role], I want to [goal], so I can [reason].
3. Build the screen shots with the screen specifications per feature. Identify the
functionality and data requirements.
4. Acceptance Criteria: Identify the test cases for both the success conditions and failure
conditions for the user story.
Sample User Story:
AGILE USER STORIES FOR SEARCH PRODUCTS
US 1- As a customer, I want to search by product name, so I can see a list of products matching my search.
