User Story Creation Form

Streamline Your Agile Workflow with a User Story Creation Form

Building great products starts with understanding what users need—and in agile teams, that means writing clear, actionable user stories. This User Story Creation Form gives product managers, scrum masters, and development teams a consistent way to capture every detail needed for sprint planning, from the core "as a user" statement through to acceptance criteria and story points.

Why use a dedicated form for user stories?

Switching between project management tools, sticky notes, and email threads slows down your sprint planning. With Paperform, you can centralise user story intake in one branded form that's easy for stakeholders, product owners, and team members to fill out. Each submission automatically feeds into your backlog, ready to prioritise and assign during your next planning session.

Built for product teams and agile workflows

This template is designed for software teams, SaaS companies, product managers, scrum masters, and agile consultancies who need a repeatable process for capturing user stories. Whether you're preparing for sprint planning, refining your backlog, or running discovery workshops, this form ensures every story includes the context, criteria, and value needed to make smart prioritisation decisions.

Use conditional logic to tailor follow-up questions based on story type, and connect your form to Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically route new stories into Jira, Linear, Asana, or Notion, notify the right squad leads, and kick off estimation workflows—no manual copying required.

How Paperform supports agile teams

With Paperform's doc-style editor, you can embed helpful examples, guidelines, and links to your definition of done right inside the form. Add headings, images, and formatting to make the form feel like part of your team's process, not a generic survey. Use multi-page layouts to separate story details from technical specs and acceptance criteria, or switch to Guided Mode for a conversational experience that walks submitters through each section step by step.

Once submitted, responses flow into your connected tools, or you can review them in Paperform's built-in dashboard with filters, exports, and AI-powered insights to spot patterns across requests. Trusted by agile teams worldwide, Paperform brings structure and speed to your sprint planning without adding complexity.
