Walk through creating story maps with backbone and release slices
by deanpetersFree
Description
user-story-mapping-workshop is an interactive skill that runs a story mapping session with a team, using adaptive questions. It asks about the system, the users, the workflow and the priorities, and then generates a two-dimensional map with a backbone of activities, the user tasks under each activity, and release slices. The purpose is to move from a flat backlog to a visual story map that shows the big picture, reveals missing functionality, and makes release planning meaningful. The skill warns against what it calls context-free mulch, where stories lose their connection to the overall system narrative. It is useful for facilitating a mapping session with a real team, building a backbone, tasks and release slices together, and getting a shared view of the workflow before slicing an MVP. You pass the system or workflow as the argument. The skill belongs to the workshops and facilitation theme of the product-manager-skills repository on GitHub.…
