What is Story Maps?

Story mapping is a user-centered approach to product backlog management in Agile software development. It involves arranging user stories in a way that visually represents the user's journey or workflow. Typically, a story map is structured with user activities (or high-level user goals) along the horizontal axis and tasks/stories (or specific steps the user takes) along the vertical axis. This provides a holistic view of the product, aids in prioritizing features, identifying gaps, and facilitating shared understanding among team members and stakeholders. It is commonly used for planning product releases and defining minimum viable products (MVPs).
