About the Technology

The clearest way to communicate a software specification is to provide examples of how it should work. Turning these story-based descriptions into a well-organized dev plan is another matter.

It fosters efficient collaboration between business and dev teams, and it's an excellent foundation for the specification by example (SBE) process.
