Do user stories stand alone as complete backlog items, or are they typically accompanied by other info like a title?

Just thinking about how a team might efficiently and consistently refer to user stories in the backlog without making up shortened versions of them, like "the progress bar one". Do user stories get titles of any kind, or tags to categorize them in any way?

Great question Aaron Smith! The course doesn't cover it, but most teams would use a tool such as Jira and Trello to keep track of tickets. Your thinking is correct, in those apps it would be very common to treat user stories as complete backlog items each getting a unique title and in most cases a priority tag and department tag such as client, server, infrastructure etc...
