A Guide To User Story Mapping (With Examples) | Aha! software
User story mapping is a visual exercise that helps product teams define the work that will create a delightful user experience. Learn how to create your own user story map.
With stories prioritized from the top down, teams can see the work that will deliver the most value in the shortest time and group these stories into development sprints and product releases. Teams will create horizontal “slices” across the map, grouping stories by priority within each critical user activity. It is important to consider that this is not about identifying what is required for a minimum viable product; rather, it is critical for identifying the most important work to be completed to create a delightful customer experience.

Why you should stop using product roadmaps and try the GIST Framework
Why product roadmaps don't work, and how to use the GIST framework - Goals, Ideas, Steps, Tasks, to drive truly agile planning and execution.
“We have a goal to deal with in-product collaboration by end of Q3. I can’t say exactly how it will work yet — we’re considering a number of ideas and keeping things agile, but we should have an MVP by end of Q2. Would you like to be an early tester and give us feedback?”
No split of ideation, planning and execution — they all happen concurrently all the time
Goals rather than solutions or vague strategy statements.
Idea banks rather than product backlogs.
Short sub-quarter step-projects rather than long multi-quarter/multi-year projects.
No betting on just a few big ideas that take forever to implement — we test many ideas quickly and pursue the ones that work.
Iterations — we revisit every part of the plan regularly and systematically and stay agile at all levels.
