"Why Are We Actually Building This?" – From Backlog Chaos to a Shared Picture with User Story Mapping


Every sprint is full, the board is green — but what can your user do now that they couldn’t last week? When your team works through tickets instead of delivering real value, it’s not velocity that’s missing, it’s the big picture. User Story Mapping flips the perspective: away from ticket soup, towards the visible user journey. In this workshop you’ll first learn why classic approaches often fail to deliver and what User Story Mapping does differently. Then you’ll build story maps from scratch together with Microsoft MVP André Krämer — first as a group, then on your own. You’ll learn to slice vertical releases, define an MVP that works end to end, and make requirements visible so your whole team shares the same picture.
