Learn User Story Mapping and Feature Planning Without Experience!

Enough With Scope Changes, and Shifting Deadlines - It’s Time to Deliver!

Have you been wondering why projects always face unseen scope changes, dependencies, and delays? How many times have you even added a buffer of a couple of weeks and still delivered later as planned? I’ve been there many times...

Is there a magic formula for a flawless product or feature planning? To be honest, I'm not sure there is. But what has significantly improved my project planning is user story mapping. Here's how it's made a difference:

Enhanced Overview: I gained a clearer perspective on the development scope.
Organized Backlog: My backlog became a repository of clear, trackable user stories.
Reduced Dependencies: Cross-functional collaboration and open communication minimized unforeseen dependencies.

It's not about reinventing the wheel, it's about using the right tools effectively. If you're looking for an impactful way to elevate your planning skills, this course might be just what you need.

The Goal of This Story Mapping Course

User story mapping is a workshop-centric method to define and plan a product you want to build or an upcoming feature. By the end of this course, you'll be able to create user story maps with your teams and plan and define MVPs as well as further releases.

The course will help you to understand what it needs to prepare a story mapping session, how to map out a story map in different ways (basic, enhanced, expert-level), and how to pitch it to your Engineering Team and stakeholders.

This course is purely about the story mapping technique and how to best apply it to make sure you plan things right.
