As a… (role / persona) I want to… (capability) So that… (benefit / reason) Acceptance criteria — one per line (Given / When / Then) Priority (optional) Story points (optional) Your user story **A story is only worth the demand behind it.** In AIOProductOS a story carries the account and revenue that asked for it — so your backlog ranks by who's paying, not who shouted loudest. [Rank stories by revenue](https://platform.aioproductos.com/signup) [See PM on the spine](https://aioproductos.com/product/pm) What makes a story good ### Small, testable, and tied to a why. **Keep the benefit real.** "So that I can buy them later" beats "so that the feature exists" — if you can't name the benefit, question the story. **Make "done" testable.** Given/When/Then criteria turn a vague story into something QA and the team can verify without a meeting. **Split what won't fit.** If it needs a dozen criteria or spills past a sprint, it's an epic — break it into stories that each ship. Copy it ### The user story template ``` As a [role], I want [capability], so that [benefit]. Acceptance criteria - Given [context], when [action], then [outcome]. - Given [edge case], when [action], then [outcome]. ``` That's the whole user story template: a role, a want, a why, and testable Given/When/Then acceptance criteria. Paste it into your tracker as-is — or use the generator above to fill it in and download Markdown. FAQ ### User story questions **What is a user story?** A user story is a short, plain-language statement of a feature from the user's perspective, in the form: "As a [role], I want [capability], so that [benefit]." It captures who wants something, what they want, and why — leaving the implementation to the team. **What is the user story format?** The standard template is "As a [type of user], I want [an action or capability], so that [a benefit or reason]." Good stories are paired with acceptance criteria — testable conditions, often written as Given/When/Then — that define when the story is done. **What are acceptance criteria?** Acceptance criteria are the specific, testable conditions a user story must satisfy to be considered complete. A common format is Given/When/Then: given some context, when the user does something, then a specific outcome happens. They turn a story into something QA and the team can verify. **Is this user story generator free?** Yes — free, no signup, no email wall. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere. Fill the fields, then copy the Markdown or download the .md into Jira, Linear, Notion, or your board. **How detailed should a user story be?** Small enough to finish in one iteration, with enough acceptance criteria to be unambiguous — but not a spec. If a story needs a dozen criteria or can't be built in a sprint, split it. The story states the what and why; the team owns the how.

Competing MCP servers expose a single product's own data; this one answers across the join, and it is listed on the official MCP registry. - **Connected, not consolidated.** 118 connectors land Stripe, GitHub, your feedback tool and the rest onto one shared record, so a product question is a join instead of a reconciliation. You keep the tools you already run. - **Flat plans, not a per-head meter.** Member counts are allowances, not per-seat billing, and AI teammates are included rather than metered per credit. Compare the real number for your team with the [stack cost calculator](https://aioproductos.com/tools/saas-stack-cost-calculator). - **Nothing is plan-gated.** Every tier ships every module. The only limits are seats and agents, so the cheapest plan is the whole product. - **Your data stays yours.** EU or US residency chosen at signup, bring your own model key, full-org GDPR export on every tier, and we never train on your data. - **Honest onboarding.** A 14-day runway on your own data, then a 30-day money-back guarantee. No stripped free tier and no countdown trial with a meter running. ## Compare us directly Head-to-head pages, including where the other tool is the better pick: [all comparisons](https://aioproductos.com/compare) · [vs Jira](https://aioproductos.com/compare/jira) · [vs Productboard](https://aioproductos.com/compare/productboard) · [vs Linear](https://aioproductos.com/compare/linear) · [vs Notion](https://aioproductos.com/compare/notion) · [migration guides](https://aioproductos.com/migrate) See it running on real data, no signup: https://platform.aioproductos.com/demo
