User Story Mapping is a collaborative technique that helps teams visualize the user journey and break down product functionality into meaningful, prioritized work.
It starts by identifying the key activities users perform, then organizing tasks and features into a logical flow. This makes it easier to spot gaps, dependencies, and the minimum viable path to delivering value.
Unlike a flat backlog, a story map shows the big picture — helping stakeholders and teams stay aligned on both strategy and execution. It’s especially useful during MVP planning, sprint preparation, and cross-team collaboration.
User story mapping turns requirements into conversations, and ideas into focused action. It keeps everyone thinking about users — not just tasks.
