         10 . A computer program product for generating user stories, the computer program product including a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for causing a computer to implement a method, the method comprising:
 collecting a plurality of requirements;   creating a plurality of content space specification files that includes the plurality of requirements;   processing the plurality of content space specification files to generate the user stories; and   outputting the user stories.   
     
     
         11 . The computer program product as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises defining a content space. 
     
     
         12 . The computer program product as claimed in  claim 10  wherein processing the plurality of content space specification files comprises identifying content space specification statements in each of the plurality of content space specification files. 
     
     
         13 . The computer program product as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises traversing the content space to generate the user stories. 
     
     
         14 . The computer program product as claimed in  claim 13  wherein the content space includes a plurality of cells, each of the plurality of cells corresponding to each of the user stories, each of the plurality of cells having multiple dimensions, each of the multiple dimensions having one or more values. 
     
     
         15 . The computer program product as claimed in  claim 14  wherein the multiple dimensions include a noun dimension. 
     
     
         16 . The computer program product as claimed in  claim 15  wherein traversing the content space comprises
 for each of the noun dimensions, for each of the plurality of cells:
 traversing, by the processor, other dimensions of the multiple dimensions of the cell, one value at a time, to generate the user story corresponding to the cell. 
 
 
     
     
         17 . The computer program product as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises grouping the content space. 
     
     
         18 . The computer program product as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises folding the content space. 
     
     
         19 . A system for generating user stories, the system comprising:
 a processor configured for:   collecting a plurality of requirements;   creating a plurality of content space specification files that includes the plurality of requirements;   processing the plurality of content space specification files to generate the user stories; and   outputting the user stories.
