This is a structured exercise from the Harisenin UI/UX & PM bootcamp (Basic Mission 2) — the app concept (an ART / domestic-worker marketplace) and the raw user statements are given by the program. Shown here as evidence of turning qualitative input into Agile backlog artifacts.
01Context
The brief gave nine raw statements ("user voices") from both sides of a domestic-worker marketplace — employers and the helpers (ART) themselves. The task: rewrite each as a user story, then organize all nine into epics.
029 user stories
- As a user, I want to search for an ART online without visiting the foundation, so recruitment is faster and more practical.
- As a user, I want to search by specific experience and skills, so I don't have to coach them on the basics.
- As a user, I want an AI system to recommend an ART based on my preferences, so I can find the best-fit candidate.
- As a frequent traveler, I want to monitor the ART's work remotely, so I can be sure my home is still being kept clean.
- As an ART, I want to submit a work report indirectly through the app, so I don't feel awkward reporting in person.
- As a user, I want to see the ART's performance through data and visuals, so I can feel confident about the results.
- As an ART, I want to report my completed work through the app, so I don't need a separate chat app for it.
- As an ART, I want to give and receive feedback from the employer every month, so I can improve and avoid miscommunication.
- As an ART, I want my rights guaranteed by the employer through a transparent system, so I can work with peace of mind.
03Backlog: 4 epics
| Epic | Stories included |
|---|---|
| 1 · ART Profile discovery & matching | Search online, search by skill/experience, AI-based recommendation. |
| 2 · Reporting tracking performance & productivity | Remote monitoring, indirect reporting, visual performance data, in-app work reports. |
| 3 · For Us peer-to-peer review | Monthly feedback exchange between employer and ART. |
| 4 · Empower rights & obligations | Transparent guarantee of the ART's rights. |
04Priority call
Epic 2 — Reporting — was picked as the first to build. Reasoning: it's the shared priority for both sides of the marketplace, enabling a real-time dashboard (schedule, attendance, tasks done), structured in-app reporting for the ART instead of informal chat messages, notifications for both parties, and a performance ranking built from task history.
05What this demonstrates
Reading qualitative input and converting it into the structure a backlog actually needs — stories grouped into epics, with a stated reason for sequencing — rather than building whatever request came in loudest.
