User Story Mapping Workshop

If you've ever watched a flat backlog turn into "context-free mulch" where stories lose their connection to the actual user workflow, this is the antidote. It walks you through building a two-dimensional story map: activities arranged left to right in narrative order (the backbone), with user tasks descending vertically by priority underneath. The facilitation is adaptive, asking up to five questions about scope, personas, and workflow before generating the map structure. It's explicitly not a backlog generator or project plan. Use it when starting new products, reframing existing backlogs, or planning MVPs. Skip it for single-feature work or technical refactoring that has no user workflow to map. Based on Jeff Patton's story mapping framework.
