The stub

The stub or title of the User Story is a paraphrased, shortened version of the value statement. Our team will often use it in conversation as a reference to a particular User Story; the User Stories themselves are too wordy to repeat. The stub must convey enough meaning so that everyone knows which story we're talking about, particularly when there are multiple User Stories related to a feature or area of functionality. We'll see how to use stubs effectively in the following section, Brainstorming a bunch of User Stories.
