“No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.” – Mr. Keating
In UX, user stories build empathy by putting the audience in the users’ shoes. They also establish a common vocabulary and, because they emotionally involve the audience, they are memorable and often get audience members to buy in the UX endeavors behind the story.
