Fearless Inventory User Stories

User stories are one-sentence descriptions of actions a user can perform in a system; they describe WHO does something, WHAT they do, and WHY they do it. They always take this form:
As a (user/persona/customer), I want to (do something) so that I will (receive a benefit).
Our user types we've discussed so far are the Warehouse Employees and the Operations Manager.


For Managers

  1. As a manager, I want to log into the system, so that I can access our secret company info.
  2. As a manager, I want to reset my password so I don't have to remember it forever.
  3. As a manager, I want to add access or remove access for new or departing employees, so only people who currently work here can update inventory.
  4. As a manager, I want to get a notification if we are getting low on a product, so I can order more.
  5. As a manager, I want to know exactly what number of products I have, so that I don't run out of items unexpectedly.
  6. As a manager, I want a system/app that can be learned quickly, so that it doesn't take me long to show the employees how to use it.
  7. As a manager, I want to add new SKUs, so that when we grow I don't have to change everything.
  8. As a manager, I want a history of who changed inventory, so that I can hold employees accountable.
