Why to use this template?

Identify or outline scope, and prioritise the resulting features (epics / stories) so that you can deliver a narrative-complete solution in line with desirable outcomes.

Featuremaps (~Storymaps) are our default tool to elicit and visualise features and scope at overview- and detailed-level. A Featuremap is based on an end-to-end process (user journey) that provides value to a user and assigns features, epics or stories that enable each step of the journey in priority order.

The teams I work with, use Featuremaps as the key tools to define, prioritise and communicate scope.

How to do it

Agree on the target audience and their goals
Map overall journey
Identify and map features against the journey
Define releases
Assign features to releases
Prioritise items within a release (optional)

Ultimately this is all about building meaningful features and prioritisation against release.
