Explanation

User stories exist solely to facilitate a conversation and guide development of a specific feature. Once the team has implemented the story and it has been accepted (meets the acceptance criteria), the story has served its purpose and is no longer needed as a living artifact. Stories are lightweight placeholders for conversations - not permanent documentation. They do not need to be maintained through the end of a sprint, release, or project after the described functionality has been delivered. This is distinct from permanent documentation, which captures how the system works after the fact.
