Summary

User story mapping is a valuable tool for software development, once you understand why and how to use it. This insightful book examines how this often misunderstood technique can help your team stay focused on users and their needs without getting lost in the enthusiasm for individual product features. 

Author Jeff Patton shows you how changeable story maps enable your team to hold better conversations about the project throughout the development process. Your team will learn to come away with a shared understanding of what you’re attempting to build and why. 

  • Get a high level view of story mapping, with an exercise to learn key concepts quickly
  • Understand how stories really work, and how they come to life in Agile and Lean projects
  • Dive into a story’s lifecycle, starting with opportunities and moving deeper into discovery
  • Prepare your stories, pay attention while they’re built, and learn from those you convert to working software

This book is great. So much more than just user stories.

I come for the user stories and stayed for the guidance on agile and product management.

Useful concepts delivered quite well

The story mapping concept is a useful one and as well as that the book provides some useful discussions on how to use stories in Agile projects. Listening to it in 2022 it is starting to feel a bit dated in places, such as describing how teams with different technical roles might collaborate and no coverage of stream aligned teams which does change some of the dynamics.

The main thing I’d have liked is more real world worked examples rather than using analogies like “stories for baking a cake” etc. Such examples are easy to write because they fit the model and most people can associate with the principles, but software stories can be much harder to shape.

The book was useful though and I would recommend it as providing some food for thought to those regularly collaborating using user stories.

Essential reading for Product managers

This should be read by any people involved in the product space. It will give senior management a better understanding of how product trans work, developers a better understanding of the PM method, and designers would get better alignment with the stories approach.
