A user story can be defined in a sentence like:As a <type of user> I want <some goal> so that <some reason>Just Google for 'user story formula' and first links all propose this formula.My question is, what is the purpose of so that clause? Is it there for managers? Is it there so that project managers and stakeholders can understand the priority of the item better? Why is it there?Note: I've worked with as a <type of user> I want <some goal> formula, and it works just well. I haven't noticed any problem in my work by implementing this format which is more brief.
What's the purpose of 'so that' clause in user story definition?
