Story Maps as Test Plans
(and other cross cutting guides)
We coach and produce products

We learn through building community

We work on large scale efforts
Story Maps

Cross Cutting Thinking
Cross Cutting Challenges
Product learning
User experiences
Architectural horizons
Cross story, cross team testing

Pair up and question (what are your cross cutting concerns?)
Story Maps
Test Plans
Cross Cutting Guides
Why do I use story maps?
Metaphors Matter
5
product backlog
-
product owner
-
user story
The metaphors we live by …
… don’t sit well with me.
product backlog (to do list)
-
product owner (singular failure)
-
user story (often misses real value)
They induce constraints …
… that pop up too frequently
user centered user experiences
over
user stories and product backlogs
Process Evolution

Who is trying to do what and why?
user - use - context
Your first map! (pair up)
Discovering Through Mapping
Name a goal
( “Get to work in the morning” )
List a few examples
( simple – hard – complex )
Walk a day in the life for each activity
( “Walk the user’s experience” )
Back up and re-tell the experience
( “What else happens? )
( What else could happen?” )

Maps Improve Learning
Maps Foster Co-Ownership
Maps Connect Teams thru Example

story maps show examples -
examples are a type of test -
story maps can drive testing

Product Test Driven (one team, one product)
Program Test Driven (many teams, one product)
Enterprise Test Driven (across teams, across time, across stories)

Across Perspectives
( Where does real value live?)
Say goodbye to the conversation
( “death by Visio”)

remote product discovery
