Software teams are increasingly adopting User-Centered Design (UCD) approaches to navigate complex problems, focusing on empathy, creativity, and iterative learning for a deep understanding of users’ needs. Despite UCD’s advantages, transitioning from conceptual prototypes to concrete requirements, such as detailed user stories, remains challenging. This paper introduces Collab2US, a tool designed to automate the conversion of UCD outcomes into structured user stories. Collab2US tackles the challenge of converting collaborative ideation outcomes into a structured product backlog of software requirements. It supports IT professionals’ workflow by integrating Miro for ideation and Trello for backlog organization, streamlining the process of turning collaborative ideas into user stories. An initial evaluation of Collab2US has shown it can aid software teams in turning team insights into user stories for product backlogs.
