      User stories are brief descriptions of the customers of how they will use the system. These stories are written in natural language to facilitate the understanding and communication among customers and developers. Each story is estimated by the customers with base in the business value that have for them.    

      The user stories are obtained in sessions of interviews performed by the domain expert and market expert, which have a high knowledge about the products and their characteristics, and can conduct adequately the interviews with the customers. Each story is captured separately in index cards how recommended in (Beck, 1999), because they are relatively small, easy to move and to order, or in eletronic media.
