User Story Mapping: The Hands-on Course

Abstract

Agile development practice breaks requirements down into small building blocks that are used to steer development and product progress. However, with this pile of small blocks it can be challenging to keep the big picture of what the product should provide and what is needed for users to conduct their task flows. User story mapping [1] addresses this challenge. It is a method and a visual representation that further helps building a bridge between scenario oriented usability methods and the fragmentation of requirements. This hands-on course introduces user story mapping with a balanced combination of up front presentation and group exercises.
