Scrum Mythbusters: The Product Backlog Has To Consists Out Of User Stories

Have you ever come across User Stories like "As a designer, I want to set up a style guide so that all developers can do basic design themselves"? Or "As a developer I want to have an API so that I can access the back-end"? In this edition, we talk about the myth that Product Backlog have to consist entirely out of User Stories. We also clarify the purpose of User Stories and offer some tips on other techniques that might be better suited for your needs.
