Aligning Organizational Stakeholders with User Story Mapping
summary
Claims that user story mapping creates organization-wide strategic clarity by turning backlogs into journeys and forcing testable hypotheses. Used from discovery through release: start maps in research, turn rows into MVP slices, derive hypotheses to validate with prototypes, then drive grooming, sprint planning and release narratives. Recommended facilitation: pens and Post-its for co-located workshops or Miro or Mural remotely, and integrate with Easy Agile for JIRA to keep maps synchronized with tickets.
