''Story mapping'' is a high-impact collaborative and visual technique to
* understand the overall set of users, their tasks, their goals, and context (all related to the product we are building)
* connect product features to user tasks & goals
* identify 'thin' but useful end-to-end families of product features that provide a simple but 'complete' solution for user
* identify a minimum useful feature set (MUFS) for the next release of the product
* do release planning, across several releases
 
 
'''STORY MAPS''': Along with Impact Maps, this is one of the most high-impact and simple methods I have come across in years to "bridge the goal-results gap" between business goals and delivering results that actually achieve those goals, and that "bridges the communication gap" between business people and R&D, and that bridges the gap between what the user does and wants, and the products we create.
 
 
During this workshop, I first introduce the ideas and method, and then facilitate an actual story-mapping workshop for the next release of your product/system.

== Audience ==
This is best attended by product managers, hands-on users, subject-matter experts, and hands-on R&D team members.
