Story Mapping

Come eseguirlo

1. 1

   Define the user and the backbone: the high-level activities the user performs (e.g. Search → Select → Purchase → Receive).

2. 2

   Place backbone activities as column headers across the top in sequence.

3. 3

   Under each activity, list the specific tasks or stories that make up that activity.

4. 4

   Sort tasks vertically by priority within each column.

5. 5

   Draw a horizontal line to define the MVP — everything above the line is the minimum viable product.

6. 6

   Everything below the line is future releases.

7. 7

   Review the map: does the MVP tell a complete user story? Are there gaps?

Suggerimenti

• The backbone is the most important part — if the top-level activity sequence is wrong, everything below is wrong.

• Don't let the map become a backlog dump; it should tell a coherent user story at every horizontal cut.',

Variazioni

Run a 'Now/Next/Later' variant replacing MVP cuts with time horizons. Use Story Mapping for marketing campaigns, content calendars, or customer success journeys — not just software.
