As a product manager, a top priority is turning raw input, feedback, meeting notes, and unstructured briefings into clear, actionable epics and user stories that guide your development partners. Storywise streamlines this process with the help of AI, helping you quickly extract key requirements, organize them, and shape them into well-structured backlog items—all in one place.
Once your epics and user stories are created, Storywise makes collaboration with tech partners and stakeholders effortless. You can easily share your project context with external agencies or internal IT departments. These collaborators can enter time or cost estimates for each feature, epic, or story. Thanks to the side-by-side comparison feature, you can directly compare estimates from different providers, empowering you to make more informed, data-driven decisions for your projects.
Why Manual User Story Creation Holds You Back
Input and feedback come in many forms. Traditionally, you’d open each file, scan for requests and insights, and piece everything together into a coherent set of user stories. Important requirements can easily be missed, and what should be a quick turnaround often becomes a drawn-out process.
Take a typical workshop: you collect a PDF summary, typed-up notes, and perhaps a Figma or Miro board. Somewhere in that digital pile are real customer needs—but extracting and shaping them into clear requirements can take hours or even days.
Storywise: Import, Extract, and Create User Stories
Storywise addresses this specific hurdle for product managers. Rather than endless copying and pasting between files, you import your documents from various sources directly into Storywise.
Here’s how Storywise helps:
1. Import All Relevant Content
Simply upload from all relevant input sources. With everything gathered in one tool, you eliminate scattered information and reduce the risk of missing something important.
2. Generate Structured Suggestions
Once your files are imported, Storywise examines the contents and highlights key statements and suggestions. The tool automatically drafts epics and user stories in a clear, consistent format:
“As a [user role], I want [goal], so that [benefit].”
Example:
Suppose your PDF notes include:
“Our marketing team spends hours every month manually collecting and
copying data. If we could export the data to CSV, it would be much
quicker.”
Storywise will suggest:
As a Marketing Manager, I want to export data as a CSV so I can prepare
reports more efficiently.
Every recognized requirement turns into a practical draft user story—ready for your review.
3. Review, Edit, and Organize
You stay in control of which user stories are added to your backlog. Within Storywise, you can review, adjust, and expand on automatically generated suggestions. Add details or acceptance criteria, prioritize for development, and fine-tune each story as needed alongside your team and stakeholders.
