User Story Mapping Workshop

What is User Story Mapping? Story Mapping is a model used for building products & solutions, enabling us to tell the stories of our users, generate shared understanding, and remain connected to the overall vision.

You can use Story Maps to build your Product Backlog, visualize value streams, model features, as well as release planning.

We'll cover Jeff Patton's User Story Mapping Exercise and apply what we've learned in a product development scenario demonstrating the power and flexibility having this tool in your toolbox gives you.
