Story Mapping

This template is perfect for product teams to flash out a feature idea. After the idea is clear, you can define the assumptions that need to be true for the idea to work. And, finally, you prioritize those assumptions for working on de-risking them.

How to use the template:

Step 1: identify the key actors

Step 2: map out the steps

Step 3: use the story map to generate assumptions

Step 4: evaluate assumptions on importance vs evidence

Instructions for each step can be found in the template.

The template was based on the techniques in the book "Continuous Discovery Habits" from Teresa Torres and is meant to be used as the next natural step after an opportunity is validated.
