About User Story Mapping

User Story Mapping arranges stories on a 2D grid — user journey horizontally, priority vertically — revealing the full product experience and enabling coherent release slicing.

•The backbone represents the user's journey, not a feature list

•Vertical slices (releases) must deliver a coherent user experience, not isolated features

•The walking skeleton is the thinnest end-to-end slice that delivers value

•Map first, then slice — don't plan sprints before seeing the whole journey
