1. Hands-on Storystorming. It's best to experience it yourself! :-)

   Storystorming is a young and very lightweight set of methods to explore and understand user journeys, work procedures and whole business processes by telling visual stories and by focusing on natural language. Its simplest variant leverages the fundamental "Subject - Predicate- Object" structure of language, and enables domain experts to tell their stories in the most natural way, without requiring them to learn anything more but five different colors (see https://medium.com/plexiti/story-storming-191756f57387).

2. Storystorming - The Background
   —
   This simple variant of Storystorming is cool, however there is more to it. Storystorming combines ideas coming from Event Storming, Domain Storytelling, User Story Mapping, Impact Mapping, Example Mapping and more in such a way that the result of one method can e.g. serve as a starting point for others - or can serve to validate the result of other methods. In this talk I therefore want to share some background info about my little "theory" behind Storystorming and the way it models "domain language" around what we know about natural language and its fundamental grammatical structures.
