Story Mapping is a visual technique used to arrange user stories into a logical flow, typically along a horizontal axis representing a user’s journey and a vertical axis representing the depth or complexity of features . This two-dimensional grid helps the delivery team and stakeholders maintain a " big picture " view of the solution while simultaneously drilling down into specific user activities and goals . By visualizing the sequence and groupings of stories, the team can effectively plan releases and identify the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). This alignment ensures that the product increments delivered are cohesive and provide an end-to-end experience for the user, rather than a disconnected set of features. It directly supports the principle of " Thinking as a Customer " by focusing on the user ' s workflow.
