Great question! 🤔 In Agile, user stories and requirements are related but serve different purposes:
Requirements: These define what a system must do. They are often detailed and technical, used in traditional development models (like Waterfall).
User Stories: In Agile, they focus on the user’s perspective and describe what a user needs and why (e.g., "As a user, I want to..."). They are high-level and evolve over time.
Requirements exist in Agile but are broken down into smaller, iterative pieces.
User stories emerge from requirements but are more user-centric and flexible.
Acceptance criteria define when a story is "done" and serve as the functional aspect.
