3-Hour User Value & Story Mapping
Losing sight of the user? Reconnect stories to user needs and ensure you're building the right features.
About this session
Development backlogs often become lists of technical tasks that lose their connection to the person actually using the product. This three-hour session forces a pivot from what is being built to why a user needs it, resulting in a visual map that anchors every feature to a specific user outcome.
Why it works
By visually layering user goals over specific features, the session exposes gaps where functionality does not actually serve a need. This spatial arrangement prevents teams from getting lost in granular details, as every story must physically sit under a high-level user milestone to remain in the plan.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
