User Story Mapping
About this book
Patton's method arranges stories in a two dimensional map. The narrative flow of user activity runs across the top, the detail of each activity sits beneath it, and horizontal slices become releases. The book covers why a flat backlog loses the shared understanding a conversation produced, how to run a mapping session, and how to cut a map into viable slices. Substantial material on story writing, opening game and mid game planning, and the discovery work that precedes a map.
