Any thoughts on how to write user stories faster? As it is now, it takes about 2 hours for me to get a story fully written with detail. Yet my manager could get 5-10 stories written in that time 🫠
Any help is appreciated 🙏

I tested out for this the other day and was surprised at how good it was...I think it gives you a solid place to start off and really does cut down the time

Your story might be too large and needs to be broken down to smaller stories.

Isn’t a user story just supposed to be a sentence?

User stories are supposed to be short. “As a x, I want to do y, so z.”

Acceptance Criteria is where it might get more verbose, but if one story has all that content it may need to be refined further or be an epic.

Staying focused ..I would block 1-2 hours in my calendar, go on DND and finish it much faster with no distractions.

Experiments over requirements

I agree with above comment. Keep them simple and don’t solution in them. We write out “As a…. So that..” and then when we take to refinement with the rest of the dev team is when details like how team is thinking to solution it gets added in and then sized.

How much detail are you including in your stories? When you take them into refinement with the team, do they ask you to break them done? If yes, your stories are two big.
