- User stories
-
User stories are a key input to the design process, used to help define a product or feature and how it is expected to be used. If using GenAI solutions to help identify user stories, these stories must be independently reviewed by a human and modified and enhanced if necessary. Do not assume that all required stories will be created by the AI or that these stories will be accurate, complete, or correct.
