Product Management: User Story Mapping

Basic Structure

Email example

Exercise

Select a non existing Product or main Function of your business and create a User Story Map.

Follow this steps:

1. Define the major Activities based on customer need and make sure you understand the start-to-end sequence that your map will cover.
2. Break down each Activity to user Tasks in order to understand what the user is doing within each Activity.
3. Discuss options of each Activity and create a couple of tiny Stories for the most basic user interactions. This could be your first release.
4. Take a step back and check the whole picture. Do you still agree on what should be the start-to-end sequence?
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 with more and more advanced user interactions. Remember to keep the stories as small and valuable as possible!
