Story mapping is a visual strategy that helps teams refine their backlog while maintaining a clear picture of the user journey.

  • Create a User Journey – Begin by mapping high-level user activities from left to right. These represent primary workflows in the product.

  • Break Activities into Tasks – List the specific actions users must take to complete each activity. These tasks become Agile user stories.

  • Prioritize using a Vertical Stack – Arrange tasks vertically according to priority, ensuring that the most valuable features are completed first.

  • Identify Dependencies Early – Mapping stories in order makes it easier to spot dependencies, simplifying sprint planning.

  • Group Stories into Releases – Organize the map into logical release versions to ensure value is delivered incrementally.

  • Keep It Dynamic – Continuously update the map as requirements evolve, refining priorities and incorporating new insights.

Story mapping enhances visibility, improves stakeholder engagement, and ensures backlog refinement is user-driven.
