Move from rough ideas to shippable stories with examples, acceptance criteria, and estimation.
A set of actionable stories with acceptance criteria, examples, and rough effort view.
You can decide which stories are ready for delivery and which questions must be clarified first.
Move stories into sprint or flow and clarify open questions intentionally.
How do users move from their starting point to their goal, and which smallest coherent deliveries support them?
User Story Mapping makes user activities and release slices visible before individual stories are discussed in isolation.
The map shows which stories can be sliced and prepared for delivery.
How can we create smaller, independently testable slices while retaining useful value?
Story Splitting breaks large stories into smaller, valuable, and shippable units.
The sliced stories then need testable acceptance criteria.
Which rules and examples must hold for this story to be accepted from a business perspective?
The workshop makes expected behavior and done criteria explicit.
Critical rules and examples are then concretized in example mapping.
Which rules and cases must be clear so this story can be understood and tested?
Example mapping connects rules, examples, and open questions and reduces misunderstandings before implementation.
The clarified stories can then be estimated together.
Which relative size can the delivery team support after independent selection, simultaneous reveal, and clarification of the highest and lowest assumptions?
Planning Poker makes team effort, uncertainty, and different mental models visible.
Estimation then feeds sprint planning, forecasting, or further clarification.
Artifacts stay collapsed until you actually need them.
