Incorporating user stories in system design
Visual Paradigm allows you to write and manage user stories. Besides writing user stories in UeXceler, you can also write user stories on any diagrams, like BPD. To write user stories in diagrams lets you relate user’s concern or requirements, as represented by story cards, with system designs. In particular, the visual mapping between user stories and BPMN activities provides you with a way to identify user stories based on a business process (diagram).
