User Story Mapping: Why the shampoo comes before the toothbrush
When you got up and went to the shower this morning, what did you do? Did you bring the toothbrush with you, so that you had it within reach? Did you make sure the window was open to prevent the mirror from clouding so that you could style your hair after the shower? Or, were you in a hurry and skipped the shower all-together?
User story mapping is an easy way to create a shared understanding of the needs of a user and their expectations with your product or service. Chances are that you and your teammates have different perspectives on a user’s experience, and co-creating a story ties in all those loose ends.
User story maps will help you and your team empathize with the users to solve the right problems and to design intuitive products – even though the paths they are taking aren’t always simple.
In this workshop, you will learn to create user story maps, and how to use the method to facilitate co-design that gets your team aligned!
