Case Study: UNICRE improves user story quality and efficiency with Xpand IT’s StoryWeaver

UNICRE cuts user story creation time by 40% with Xpand IT

UNICRE, a Portuguese payment solutions company, faced significant challenges in translating complex business needs into clear and consistent user stories for development. This manual process led to ambiguity, rework, and a lack of alignment between business and technology teams. To address this, they partnered with vendor Xpand IT to implement its AI-powered product, StoryWeaver.

The solution implemented by Xpand IT used Generative AI to automate the creation of structured user stories and acceptance criteria, which were then reviewed by human teams for validation. This integration with Azure DevOps resulted in a 40% reduction in the time needed to create development-ready stories, a significant decrease in change requests, and stronger alignment between teams, ultimately improving delivery quality and operational efficiency.
