User Story Mapping Workshop - Scrum Product Owner

Did you realize how difficult is to visualize the product as a whole when working with a typical Flat Product Backlog?

A solution is User Story Mapping. A user story map is a simple idea for Agile teams, is about arranging user stories into a helpful shape. User Story mapping is used by top companies of any industry to visualize goals with activities and agree fast on how to achieve them with minimum versions of the product.

This workshop will guide you step by step with a realistic example that you can also follow with your own project.

If you have no knowledge about User stories, don't worry, we will start by writing user stories, applying formats for acceptance criteria, understanding the different sizes of user stories, and splitting the stories to the right size using proven techniques and approaches. You will see many examples of how to apply these techniques.
