Here's an older article by Mike Cohn where he talks about how to handle user stories that are more focused on back-end features and do not have custome-facing components. He advocates for a different syntax for these stories, leveraging FDD as example. Instead of saying "As a developer..." or "As a product owner..." say something like  "Merge the data for duplicate transactions" (<action> the <result> <by!for!of!to> <object>)

What does everyone think of this approach? How do you handle these types of user stories in your backlog?
