What is a user story in the context of scope?

User story — is a small, understandable description of functionality from the user's perspective, which helps define the boundaries and content of the project (scope).

In the context of scope, a user story serves to:

• Clearly define user requirements and expectations.
• Break down a large amount of work into manageable parts.
• Establish priorities and plan releases.

Example of a user story:

As a user, I want to be able to reset my password so that I can access my account if I forget my password.

Thus, a user story helps determine what exactly is included in the scope of work and what is not, ensuring a focus on the necessary functions.
