Well, it has a clear user role, valuable outcome, and it's negotiable.
Sure. Conciseness, independence, testability.
An engaging plot with conflict.
One of the key qualities of a good user story is that it has a clear user role. This could be a customer, an administrator, etc. For instance, 'As an administrator, I need to be able to manage user accounts efficiently.' It should also have a valuable outcome for the user. If the user doesn't get any real value from the functionality described in the story, it's not a good user story. Additionally, a good user story is negotiable. It can be adjusted and refined during the development process as new information becomes available.
Good short stories usually have a unique voice. The author's style of writing should be distinct. It can be humorous, solemn, or sarcastic. For instance, Mark Twain has a very recognizable voice in his short stories. Also, the pacing matters. It shouldn't be too slow or too fast. A proper pace keeps the reader engaged at all times.
A good user story should be independent. It can stand alone without relying too much on other stories. For example, a user story about a user logging into an app should not be intertwined with a story about making a purchase in the app in a way that it cannot be understood or implemented separately.
Sure. Bravery is a quality. A good character is brave enough to take risks and protect others. Also, they are often intelligent. This helps them solve problems in the story. And they are generous, always willing to share what they have with others.
Sure. One quality is decisiveness. A good leader in a story is often able to make quick and wise decisions. They don't dither when faced with choices. For instance, in a military leadership story, a general might have to decide on a battle strategy instantly.
The main qualities include being factual. No false information should be in the story. Also, it should be concise yet comprehensive enough to convey the key points. And having a good hook to start the story is important too.
Originality is also a quality. A novel that offers a fresh perspective or a unique story stands out. '1984' was very original in its dystopian vision when it was first published.
Sure. For beginners, a good feature story should be simple in its language. This makes it easy for readers to understand. Also, it should have a clear point. Beginners often struggle with getting their message across, so a clear point helps. Another quality is having a relatable topic. People are more likely to read a story they can relate to.
Sure. Exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution.
