Definition

User Stories (or stories) in Agile form the building blocks of Software Development. It is a simple description of a feature, that’s told from the perspective of the user of the system, aka the person who desires/requires the feature. The focus is overall to move away from writing about requirements, and instead talk about them. All User Stories are usually 1-2 written sentences in form.

Definition

Last Responsible Moment (LRM) is the principle that emphasizes holding on taking important actions and crucial decisions for as long as possible.  This is done, so as to not eliminate important alternatives till the last possible moment. It is a philosophy in which the cost of the delay of a decision overall surpasses the benefit of the delay. It is also a measure that can be used to prevent over planning that is costly and unresponsive to future conditions.
