Software development is a complex thing. Knowing what to build, knowing how to build it, and knowing where you’re stuck or wasting your time… these are really just the tip of the iceberg, and trouble in any of these areas can waste effort, explode costs, and even sink a project.
story mapper
A clear backlog is critical, but doesn’t provide the context for the larger project. The story map is where all the details come together into one unified view.
The Story Map is a living document, structured to expose the design intents of your project, and to make visible all the great progress the team is making moving toward your goals.

Each member of the team has a number of activities they engage in to help move the project forward. The information they need to perform these activities varies significantly. Getting the abstraction right is critical to making it clear what drives a decision. Great abstractions make considerations clear, and lead to easier decision making.
There is a lot going on in any software development project. Knowing what to work on next is key to keeping the team operating efficiently. Once all the upstream decisions are made, knowing what the highest priority thing to do right now helps reduce cognitive load, and lets people focus on the task at hand.
Keeping It All In Sync
How many of us are working in Agile shops? How many of us actually really follow agile practices? Did your company Go Agile? How about we all be agile, instead of going it? Not sure how to follow all the best practices? No problem! We’ll help you and your team along the way. A little nudge here (did you write a test for that?) and a little nudge there (It may be time to refactor!) can go a long way.
