User Story Mapping

Discover the Whole Story, Build the Right Product

De: Jeff Patton, Peter Economy - foreword

Narrado por: Roy McCrerey

User story mapping is a valuable tool for software development, once you understand why and how to use it. This insightful book examines how this often misunderstood technique can help your team stay focused on users and their needs without getting lost in the enthusiasm for individual product features.

Author Jeff Patton shows you how changeable story maps enable your team to hold better conversations about the project throughout the development process. Your team will learn to come away with a shared understanding of what you’re attempting to build and why.

• Get a high level view of story mapping, with an exercise to learn key concepts quickly
• Understand how stories really work, and how they come to life in Agile and Lean projects
• Dive into a story’s lifecycle, starting with opportunities and moving deeper into discovery
• Prepare your stories, pay attention while they’re built, and learn from those you convert to working software

very good and complete

I can't believe there was some much to say about user stories but it's all good.

A must read for Business Analysts

I was introduced to user story mapping about 5 years ago but never received any formal training. This book really help me to see the whole story of mapping. A must read for BAs.

Stories, experience, risk and humour in that order

Great reading with the factology, personal experience to relate to and the exact pintch of humour to emphasize. I would appreciate if more content on risk management is added.

VERY Useful!!!

I fully understood the concepts going into this book having been around the Agile process for a while. I even found myself independently coming up with ideas that were taught in this book prior to picking it up. With the full picture and clarity, now, I feel very confident in building better stories and products from them.

Wonderful book for new Product Managers!

This book did a great job of creating a clear user journey for listeners, whether you are new or experienced in PM you can again a few nuggets of knowledge from this book!

some gold, lots of repetition

there are some absolute gold nuggets buried in these chapters. some of the chapters I found somewhat repetitive, however that may be a function of the audiobook not providing sufficient distinctions between concepts and topics. Perhaps these distinctions are more evident when seen on a page.

Well organized content

He used good examples and the book was well organized. I enjoyed the book. The narrator was also learned and understandable. overall I would recommend this book

Very good information well presented

The information and strategies make a lot of sense based on my experience at work. I have already shared some of what I learned with my team.

Must read for all working as/with product managers

Amazing and easy listening, the author breaks down this huge subject with many examples and logic. I wish there were more books from this author.

I learned more about User Stories than I expected

You feel cheated after some purchases. I didn't with this one.

The biggest takeaway for me was using and refining User Stories to create a shared sense of understanding among developers on a team vs. as a reminder that "this task needs to be done".
