Podcasts about story mapping

Wenn in Produktteams das Verständnis fehlt, reden Menschen oft aneinander vorbei. Und manchmal reichen ein Stift und ein Flipchart, um das zu ändern. Olaf Bublitz kennt diese Situationen gut. Als erfahrener Agilist, Berater und Mitautor des neuen Buchs Visual Product Ownership setzt er sich seit Jahren dafür ein, visuelle Methoden in der Produktentwicklung gezielter und wirkungsvoller einzusetzen. In dieser Folge spricht er mit Tim über die Kraft der Visualisierung. Nicht als Deko oder hübsches Extra, sondern als echte Unterstützung für Klarheit, Zusammenarbeit und Entscheidungsfindung. Denn visuelle Methoden in der Produktentwicklung helfen dabei, komplexe Zusammenhänge sichtbar zu machen – über alle Ebenen hinweg: von der Strategie bis zur operativen Umsetzung. Olaf versteht unter visuellen Methoden nicht nur Zeichnungen oder Sketchnotes. Für ihn beginnt visuelles Arbeiten schon mit einem Canvas, einem Taskboard oder einer Map. Sobald Informationen so aufbereitet sind, dass man sie auf einen Blick erfassen und besprechen kann, entsteht ein gemeinsamer Fokus. Und genau darum geht es in der Produktentwicklung: Orientierung schaffen und Diskussion ermöglichen – ohne sich in Textwüsten zu verlieren. Viele der Methoden, die Olaf beschreibt, helfen dabei, Perspektiven nebeneinander sichtbar zu machen. Ob Eventstorming, Story Mapping oder Strategy Maps: Sie bringen Teams ins Gespräch – und lassen Unterschiede, Lücken oder Missverständnisse frühzeitig erkennen. Genau das ist der eigentliche Mehrwert. Denn visuelle Methoden in der Produktentwicklung machen nicht nur Dinge sichtbar. Sie machen Zusammenarbeit möglich. Es geht nicht darum, möglichst viele Methoden zu nutzen, sondern diese passenden auszuwählen – je nach Kontext, Ziel und Team. In seinem Buch fasst Olaf über 50 bewährte Methoden zusammen und stellt sie in sogenannten Strings dar: sinnvolle Verbindungen von Methoden entlang typischer Fragestellungen in der Produktentwicklung. So entstehen keine isolierten Visualisierungen, sondern ein durchgängiger visueller Arbeitsraum. Besonders spannend wird es, wenn Teams ihre gesamte Produktarbeit sichtbar machen – etwa in Form eines sogenannten "Obeya"-Raums. Olaf beschreibt, wie visuelle Methoden in der Produktentwicklung dabei helfen, verschiedene Ebenen miteinander zu verbinden: Ziele, Kennzahlen, Roadmaps, Backlogs, Abhängigkeiten. Alles sichtbar, strukturiert und zugänglich – ob physisch im Raum oder digital auf einem Miro-Board. Was zählt, ist der gemeinsame Blick. Die Folge ist eine Einladung: Visualisierung nicht als Stilmittel zu sehen, sondern als praktisches Werkzeug. Wer damit beginnt, kleine Elemente sichtbar zu machen – ein Ablauf, eine Idee, ein Engpass – schafft einen Einstieg. Und wer als Produktteam konsequent mit visuellen Methoden arbeitet, verändert nicht nur die Art, wie Entscheidungen getroffen werden. Sondern auch die Qualität der Zusammenarbeit.

Send us a textLast week in Episode 139, I shared the 4 biggest takeaways from SCOLT — and today, I'm showing you how those ideas come to life with 4 powerful classroom strategies grounded in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research.

Als Product Owner ist es essenziell, sich kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln und die richtigen Werkzeuge für die tägliche Arbeit zu nutzen. In der neuesten Episode der Produktwerker geht es genau darum: Welche Methoden für Product Owner sind wirklich relevant? Eine der wichtigsten Grundlagen ist die Produktvision. Hier hilft das Product Vision Canvas bzw. das Product Vision Board (von Roman Pichler), um ein gemeinsames Verständnis im Team und mit Stakeholdern zu schaffen. Ob mit dem Framework von Roman Pichler oder dem Positioning Statement von Geoffrey Moore – entscheidend ist, dass die Produktvision klar und lebendig bleibt. Eng verknüpft mit der Produktvision ist das Thema Roadmapping. Klassische, feature-getriebene Roadmaps sind längst überholt. Stattdessen setzen erfahrene Product Owner auf Outcome-orientierte Roadmaps, etwa in Form der Now-Next-Later-Roadmap. Dabei geht es nicht darum, starre Zeitpläne einzuhalten, sondern den Fokus auf die gewünschten Wirkungen zu legen. Für eine sinnvolle Planung ist außerdem Story Mapping unverzichtbar. Diese Methode hilft, eine holistische Sicht auf das Produkt zu behalten, Features sinnvoll zu priorisieren und das Team in die richtige Richtung zu steuern. Jeff Patton hat mit dem User Story Mapping eine Praxis entwickelt, die das Verständnis für Wirkungsschnitte und Priorisierung stärkt. Ein weiteres wertvolles Tool im Werkzeugkasten eines Product Owners ist der Opportunity Solution Tree (OST), bekannt aus Teresa Torres' Buch Continuous Discovery Habits. Der OST ermöglicht es, Business-Ziele mit Kundenbedürfnissen zu verknüpfen und den besten Weg zur Lösung abzuleiten. Etwas älter, aber genauso wirksam ist das Impact Mapping von Gojko Adzic – ein strukturierter Ansatz, um zu visualisieren, welche Akteure ihr Verhalten ändern müssen, damit das Produkt erfolgreich wird. In der täglichen Arbeit von Product Ownern spielen Annahmen eine große Rolle. Doch oft sind diese weder hinterfragt noch belegt. Hier kommt das Assumption Mapping ins Spiel. Mit dieser Methode von David J. Bland lassen sich Annahmen systematisch priorisieren und durch gezielte Experimente validieren. Auch das Arbeiten mit User-Feedback gehört zu den essenziellen Methoden für Product Owner. Hier hilft der Interview-Snapshot aus Teresa Torres' Discovery-Ansatz, um strukturierte Erkenntnisse aus Nutzerinterviews zu ziehen. In Kombination mit dem Value Proposition Canvas von Alexander Osterwalder lassen sich die relevanten Pain Points und Gains der Nutzer noch klarer herausarbeiten. Natürlich darf auch das Thema User Stories nicht fehlen. Diese Technik ermöglicht eine nutzerzentrierte Formulierung von Anforderungen. Doch User Stories sind nur so gut wie ihre Akzeptanzkriterien und die Fähigkeit, sie sinnvoll zu schneiden. Deshalb ist es entscheidend, nicht nur das Schreiben, sondern auch das Splitting von User Stories zu beherrschen. Ein weiterer Bereich, der oft unterschätzt wird, ist das Stakeholder-Management. Ohne eine gezielte Strategie kann die Vielzahl an Stakeholdern schnell zur Herausforderung werden. Das Power-Interest-Grid hilft dabei, die richtigen Prioritäten zu setzen und Stakeholder effektiv einzubinden. Daneben sehen wir noch eine elfte Methode, quasi als "Bonus-Thema", das in den letzten Jahren immer wichtiger wird: AI-Prompting. Die Fähigkeit, mit Tools wie ChatGPT oder Perplexity effizient zu arbeiten, kann für Product Owner einen enormen Vorteil bringen – sei es für die Generierung von Ideen, die Analyse von Feedback oder die Strukturierung von Informationen. AI wird zunehmend zum Wingman für Product Owner und sollte daher als fester Bestandteil des Methodensets verstanden werden. Diese zehn Methoden für Product Owner sind nicht nur theoretische Konzepte, sondern praxisbewährte Werkzeuge, die den Alltag eines POs erleichtern und das Produktmanagement auf ein neues Level heben. Welche dieser Methoden setzt du bereits ein? Und welche fehlt deiner Meinung nach in dieser Liste?

The Great Product Owner: Fostering Quick Feedback Loops With Story Mapping Robert describes a great Product Owner as someone who immerses themselves in the team, fostering collaboration and ensuring quick market feedback.  By using tools like Story Mapping, these POs help teams focus on value while staying engaged and open to learning. The Bad Product Owner: Throwing Features Over the Fence, The Disconnected PO Bad Product Owners remain distant, throwing requirements “over the fence” without participating in the team's efforts. This disconnect often leads to misalignment and poor outcomes.  For Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches, Robert suggests investigating the root cause of this distance and addressing it collaboratively.

This week, Dan Neumann and Justin Thatil are joined by their colleague, Mike Guiler. In this episode, they explore how a Product Manager shifts from just management to leadership and how this transformation influences the role. Dan, Justin, and Mike discuss tools and strategies, including OKRs, Story Mapping, and Hackathons, among others.   Key Takeaways Product management must study the market and users, becoming customer-centric and ensuring it is still viable for the business at the same time. It takes more than one individual to effectively perform the discovery function. It's a Team effort (Product Designer, Product Owner, and a Technical member). Discovery and design sessions are opportunities for Teams to unlock the art of the possible. The Team has to learn from rapid feedback while ensuring steps are taken to not hurt organizational reputation. A Product Manager must first understand how to help the Team approach a particular problem. A great way is to identify OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and focus on the target market the Team is going after. Once the Team is aligned, the job can be done. A Product Manager sets an objective for the Team and allows them to work autonomously toward reaching it. Story Mapping: A Product Manager's ally on the journey to product discovery. Story Mapping is an easy way to frame what the Team is trying to achieve and the tool that might be the most efficient for that purpose. Story Mapping can also help identify the target persona for which the Team is building a particular feature. There is tremendous value in having the Team involved in Story Mapping and, as a result, immersed in and knowledgeable about the problem at hand. Hackathons are a great way to keep a Team motivated. Allow the engineers to explore; you will keep them engaged and motivated.   Mentioned in this Episode: Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution: A Handbook for Entrepreneurs, by Uri Levine Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love (Silicon Valley Product Group), by Marty Cagan   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

This week on Radically Loved Thomas Hübl joins us to discuss the profound idea that our traumatic experiences hold the potential for incredible growth and transformation. They explore the concept that within each of us lies a remarkable superpower – the innate ability to connect and be relational. We delve into the notion that, as humans, we are not isolated entities, but integral parts of a collective consciousness. Through the lens of this collective consciousness, we discuss how our interconnectedness grants us the capacity to rearchitect and heal the scars left by large-scale traumas like war and genocide. Join us as we embark on a thought-provoking journey into the depths of our shared humanity, and discover how our experiences, both personal and collective, can serve as catalysts for profound healing and societal change. By embracing our interdependence, we can activate what is needed to respond and evolve through the challenges of our age. “It may take only a small number of us,” writes Hübl, “to establish a new level of collective coherence—to share our light, heal our wounds, and realize the unawakened potential of our world.” Thomas Hübl, PhD, is a renowned teacher, author, and international facilitator whose lifelong work integrates the insights of the great wisdom traditions with the discoveries of science.

This week on Radically Loved Thomas Hübl joins us to discuss the profound idea that our traumatic experiences hold the potential for incredible growth and transformation. They explore the concept that within each of us lies a remarkable superpower – the innate ability to connect and be relational. We delve into the notion that, as humans, we are not isolated entities, but integral parts of a collective consciousness. Through the lens of this collective consciousness, we discuss how our interconnectedness grants us the capacity to rearchitect and heal the scars left by large-scale traumas like war and genocide. Join us as we embark on a thought-provoking journey into the depths of our shared humanity, and discover how our experiences, both personal and collective, can serve as catalysts for profound healing and societal change. By embracing our interdependence, we can activate what is needed to respond and evolve through the challenges of our age. “It may take only a small number of us,” writes Hübl, “to establish a new level of collective coherence—to share our light, heal our wounds, and realize the unawakened potential of our world.” Thomas Hübl, PhD, is a renowned teacher, author, and international facilitator whose lifelong work integrates the insights of the great wisdom traditions with the discoveries of science. Since the early 2000s, he has led large-scale events and courses on the healing of collective trauma, with a special focus on the shared history of Israelis and Germans, and facilitated healing and dialogue around racism, oppression, colonialism, and genocide.

Was hat Event Storming mit dem Bullshit-Asymmetrie-Prinzip (auch bekannt als "Brandolinis Gesetz") zu tun? Diese und noch viel wichtigere Fragen, besprechen wir in dieser Podcast-Folge mit Jürgen Meurer. Event Storming ist eine Praktik, die ursprünglich aus dem Domain Driven Design (DDD) stammt. Die Erfindung der Methode wird Alberto Brandolini zugeschrieben. Ja genau - der mit dem gleichnamigen Gesetz: „Das Widerlegen von Schwachsinn erfordert eine Größenordnung mehr an Energie als dessen Produktion.“ Zurück zum Thema: Event Storming ist ein (Groß)Gruppenformat, um das verteilte Wissen über eine fachlich-technische Domäne in einem Workshop explizit zu machen und so ein "gemeinsam geteiltes mentales Modell" zu entwickeln. Kurz: alle die dabei waren kapieren den Gesamtzusammenhang der Fragestellung plötzlich viel besser. Gerade im Kontext komplexer Produktentwicklung eignet sich diese Methode somit sehr gut, ein gemeinsames Verständnis zu schaffen. Sie kann damit eine tolle Grundlage für Story Mapping oder Customer Journey Mapping bieten - aber auch für die Erstellung klassischer Projekt Strukturpläne. Du kannst Event Storming sowohl für bestehende Produkte anwenden, als auch in der Entwicklung komplett neuer Produkte und Services einsetzen. Jürgen Meurer, setzt diese Methode bereits seit vielen Jahren erfolgreich bei seinen verschiedenen Arbeitgebern an. Inzwischen ist Jürgen als Agile Coach aktiv, hat aber auch lange als Product Owner und Scrum Master gearbeitet. Damit ist er übrigens auch ein interessantes Beispiel für den Weg, sich vom Product Owner zum Scrum Master bzw. Agile Coach zu entwickeln. Seine letzten Stationen waren Studitemps, Freeyou, AXA und nun SHOP APOTHEKE bzw. Redcare Pharmacy. **Quellen und Links zum Event Storming** Jürgen Meurer empfiehlt die folgenden Quellen, um mehr über Event Storming zu lernen: - zentrale Webseite zum Thema: https://www.eventstorming.com/ - Buch von Alberto Brandolini: Introducing EventStorming - An act of Deliberate Collective Learning (leanpub.com/introducing_eventstorming) - Brandolinis Gesetz, auch Bullshit-Asymmetrie-Prinzip - Weitere passende Podcastfolgen Weitere Themen zu bestimmten Podcast-Folgen, auf die Tim im Laufe des Gesprächs hinweist: - Nutze Story Mapping, um mit Stakeholdern über Outcome zu sprechen - Mit Customer Journey Maps arbeiten Jürgen Meurer freut sich über den Kontakt zu euch.

In this episode, Frederik discussed his experience with corporate politics in an agile software development project. Initially a Product Owner, he became a Scrum Master while a colleague took over as the single Product Owner. Facing a team of 20 people, Frederik encountered challenges with the client's perception of the team as a "feature factory" and their desire for a perfect end product delivered all at once.  He emphasized the importance of incremental thinking and work, offering tips such as being proactive, using User Story Mapping, prioritizing work through slicing, and collaborating with stakeholders. Frederik stressed the need for a strong relationship with management and higher-level stakeholders and highlighted the value of retrospectives in fostering understanding and promoting agile principles. Overall, the episode highlighted the challenges of corporate politics and provided practical strategies for successful agile software development projects.

In der heutigen Podcast Episode hat sich Kurswechsler Frank Wulfes einige Methoden geschnappt und diese auf ihre Wirksamkeit überprüft. Besonders interessant dabei ist, dass er insgesamt 10 Methoden herausgesucht hat, 5 davon aus jüngerer Vergangenheit und 5, bei denen der ein oder andere vielleicht behaupten würde: Diese Methode ist lange nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Aber wir alle haben es bestimmt schonmal erlebt: Neu heißt nicht zwangläufig auch immer besser und Altbewehrtes kann auch in Zukunft praktikabel sein. 5 Methoden der jüngeren Vergangenheit: 1. Scrum: Wahrscheinlich das meistzitierte Tool der jüngeren Vergangenheit. Es eignet sich hervorragend, um Projekte in einem komplexen Umfeld zu entwickeln. (Podcast Episode zu Scrum) Design Thinking: Mit diesem Tool versucht man sich ganz spezifisch auf die Sicht der Kund:innen zu fokussieren, damit ein Produkt entsteht, welches den wirklich Kund:in zufriedenstellt (Podcast zu Episode Design Thinking) Personasmethode: Diese eignet sich gut zur Ergänzung der beiden obigen Methoden. Man erstellt ein Profil des Wunschkund:in und nimmt seine Bedürfnisse ganz genau unter die Lupe. Wichtig ist, das Profil später auch mit realen Kund:innen abzugleichen. Produktvision: Eignet sich wunderbar, um eine Richtung für ein neues Produkt zu finden. Story Mapping: Hierbei bringt man sein Produkt schnellstmöglich in Kund:inkontakt und kreiert eine sog. Costumer Journeys, um anschließend das Produkt iterativ zu optimieren. Es folgen 5 ältere Methoden, die deswegen aber nicht weniger gut sind: Walt Disney Methode: Es gibt drei Phasen. 1. Träumer; 2. Kritiker; 3. Realist. Am Ende bleibt eine Idee, die man konkret in die Umsetzung bringen kann. In bestimmten Kontexten kann dies dem modernen Design Thinking überlegen sein. Stakeholder Analyse: Eine gute Methode, um herauszufinden: Wer beeinflusst mein Vorhaben eigentlich gerade? Daraus kann man für sich das richtige Handeln ableiten. Teamsensor: Dieses Tool schafft die Möglichkeit sich als Team über einen längeren Zeitraum stetig und messbar zu verbessern und fördert so die Zusammenarbeit (Podcast Episode zu Teamsensor verlinken) Risikoanalyse: Auch ein Tool, was man eher dem „alten“ Managementwerkzeugkasten zuordnen würde, aber gerade heute, in dieser dynamischen Umgebung, in der wir leben, macht es total Sinn, sich einen Überblick über etwaige Risiken zu verschaffen. Circle of influence: Ab und zu verfallen Teams in der Routine, ständig nur über Probleme zu meckern, auf die sie jedoch gar keinen Einfluss haben. Dieses Tool funktioniert wunderbar, um sich wieder deutlich vor Augen zu führen, was wir eigentlich beeinflussen können, um dieses dann auch anzupacken. Ein grober Überblick mag nicht komplett ausreichen, um die einzelnen Stärken und Schwächen der Methoden komplett zu erkennen und sie auch in der Praxis so durchzuführen, dass die Magie der Tools zum Leben erweckt wird. Dafür haben wir jetzt natürlich den Podcast. Wir wünschen viel Spaß beim Hören der Episode und viele neue Erkenntnisse!

Connaissez-vous le story mapping ? Si vous avez déployé les méthodes agiles dans votre organisation, sûrement.  Pour les autres, petite séance de rattrapage : il s'agit d'une méthodologie permettant de schématiser les parcours utilisateurs, d'identifier les fonctionnalités clé, de prioriser les sujets en collaboration avec toute les équipes impliquées (technique, métier, design et produit). Enfin, le story mapping permet d'aligner les parties prenantes et communiquer en toute transparence.   Pour rendre tout cela plus concret, nous avons décidé de donner la parole à Hélène Goetzelmann, qui est Senior Director International Marketing et Product Owner dans la Squad Gifting de L'Occitane. Elle nous explique dans cette capsule comment elle a déployé cette méthodologie.

This week, Dan Neumann is joined by two AgileThought colleagues, Alba Uribe and Michael Guiler, to explore the concept of User Story Mapping.   In this episode, Dan, Alba, and Michael are diving deep into different approaches to starting backlog; they describe the benefits of story mapping and explain why it is a great tool to achieve a shared understanding throughout the whole team. Listen to this episode to achieve a comprehensive understanding of Story Mapping with various examples that will help you put this concept into practice.   Key Takeaways ● Why is Story Mapping a great way to create a product backlog? ○ All the team can see the overall vision and what is in the mind of the product owner. ○ It is a way to identify the release strategy. ○ Story Mapping can be a helpful tool when change needs to be embraced. ● Mechanics about how to create a User Story Map. ○ Who? Story Mapping starts with the user. ○ What are the goals to achieve? A journey map for the team including all pain points. ○ How? Identify how to address those pain points. ○ Organizing left to right and top to bottom. ● Examples of Story Mapping and Minimum Viable Product (MVP). ○ Alba shares how she uses Story Mapping in her work as an artist. ● Story Mapping can go wrong. ○ Not knowing how to identify your MVP. ○ Having difficulty identifying opportunities for learning. ○ The what and the why need to be addressed for Story Mapping, not just the how. ○ Having someone with experience in Story Mapping is hugely important for the process to develop the best way possible. ○ There need to be conversations about how Story Mapping will be done.   Mentioned in this Episode: User Story Mapping: Discover the Whole Story, Build the Right Product, by Jeff Patton and Peter Economy Coaching Agile Teams: A Companion for ScrumMasters, Agile Coaches, and Project Managers in Transition, by Lyssa Adkins Medical Medium: Cleanse to Heal, by Anthony Williams Lean Enterprise: How High Performance Organizations Innovate at Scale, by Jez Humble, Joanne Molesky, and Barry O'Reilly   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

Wenn man bislang per Auftragsentwicklung eine Anwendung gebaut hat und sich von vermeintlichen Vertriebserfordernissen oder mächtigen B2B-Partern hat treiben lassen, reift oft der Wunsch: Lasst uns nun endlich ein klares Produkt formen! Wir besprechen in dieser Folge den steinigen Weg hin zu einer fokussierten Produktentwicklung. Oliver und Tim diskutieren zunächst, wie es zu diesem Wunsch, ein klares Produkt zu bauen kommt. Sie beleuchten die Symptome, die zu einer "verwurschtelten" Anwendung kommt, die quasi alles kann - aber nichts richtig gut. Welche Konsequenzen hat der Beschluss, nun "ein Produkt" zu bauen? Und sind die Auswirkungen einer solchen Entscheidungen den Organisationen überhaupt bewusst? Es werden Praktiken aufgezeigt, die helfen, aus einer Auftragsentwicklung kommend zu entscheiden, was ins künftige Produkt einfließen soll (und was nicht). Oliver und Tim betrachten auch die Stolperfallen, die man bei einem solchen Versuch beachten sollte und liefern am Ende ihre persönlichen wichtigsten Tipps im Umgang mit diesem Thema. Im Gespräch verweisen Oliver und Tim auf Themen und Praktiken, die wir bereits in früheren Episoden dieses Podcasts schon mal ausführlicher behandelt haben. Sofern ihr diese noch nicht kennt, dürfte es sich lohnen, diese beiden Folgen im Kontext zum aktuellen Thema nochmal in Ruhe anzuhören: - Story Mapping nutzen, um über Outcome zu sprechen - Wardley Mapping – Produktstrategie ist wie Schach Wenn euch die Folge gefällt, freuen wir uns über eine positive Bewertung in eurer Podcast App oder als Feedback auf produktwerker.de, per Mail an podcast@produktwerker.de oder via Instagram oder Twitter.

The Elements of OODAThe OODA loop is comprised of 4 majors elements:Observe — Orient — Decide — ActIn a team environment I explain these four elements asObserve — Understand the environmentOrient — Align on what is importantDecide — Agree on a good course of actionAct — Do itIn complex changing environments enabling these 4 elements to occur quickly and effectively can allow teams to leverage their broad range of skills and experiences to increase the likelihood of successful delivery.Although there are different ways to do each of these steps, irrespective of the way you choose, I would encourage you to use something to anchor a team's focus and visualise what is discussed. This will help enable complex interactions to emerge which would otherwise not occur.Observing the environmentMy preferred approach for observing the environment is Jeff Patton's Story Mapping approach. This technique has become the defacto standard for visualising product backlogs, and helps teams focus on how a customer interacts with the system.Story Mapping is awesome as it encourages, amongst other thingsStorytelling as a technique to flush out any gaps in the environmentA two dimensional backlog enabling better visualisation of priorities and dependenciesIt also happens to be an awesome way to observe the environment and what a team will need to deliver to create value.

"Calm down, take a deep breath and just talk to me“   Luke Hohmann's new mission: Participatory Budgeting in Schools Luke Hohmann founded FirstRoot to advance participatory budgeting in schools. Let me get straight to the point: You can invest in this company in this early stage. You can also support the cause by talking about or by simply using the free software and talking about it in your kids' school.  Luke Hohmann and me go back a long time. I met him ca. 12 years ago in one of his trainings and was fortunate enough to co-train and facilitate with him. He wrote an early book „Beyond Software Architecture“ which to me is one of the best books on software Architecture (sic!) and was ahead of its time. He then got deep into Serious Games with his Innovation Games trainings and a great book on it. Also ahead of its time. From there he was on a constant path towards which had to end in what he does now. Through his Innovation Games, he made it to participatory budgeting in communities, in the Enterprise and other important places. Also, he built an enterprise SaaS company to further bring his ideas deeper into Companies and also enable distributed Serious Games. Now, he founded FirstRoot, bringing participatory budgeting to schools. (You will realize over the course of the pod, that we couldn't constrain ourselves - we wouldn't be Luke and Markus, then - from drawing all kinds of parallels to Quality of Software, agile, Portfolio Planning, Architecture, Comics for Story Mapping and what have you.) The underlying problem that Luke is tackling with FirstRoot is inequality of chances by social background, financial illiteracy (lack of education on that topic in school in general) and economic disparity. First Root is having its part in solving that problem by offering a five step process in facilitating Participatory Budgeting to pupils around the globe, based on a software solution. Steps are: Planning Gather Ideas Refine Ideas to proposals Voting (there will always be more ideas than we can afford - „a truism in life“ Projects in implematation In the pod Luke thoroughly leads us through an example to show us how it works and which impact it has. I put the core of the idea at the beginning of the cast. Again: If you believe in this story, you can also invest for as little as a couple of hundred dollars alongside of people like Alex Osterwalder, Lysa Adkins and many more. You also help by just using the software and bring it into schools. Just follow the „Invest“ link on firstroot.co

Philip was working with a health care organization, and discovered that they had not yet had help from other agile coaches. As he started working with teams, he discovered that one of the people who brought him in, was not all that positive on the change Philip had been hired to do.  This created confusion, and conflict. So Philip started working on how to align teams quickly and developed a “rapid alignment framework” using techniques like Inception from the book The Agile Samurai by Rasmusson.  In this episode, we also discuss Story Mapping and the Scrum Master playbook by Philip.  About Philip Rogers Phil, is a father of four children and volunteer paleontologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. He is also an "agile whisperer" (coach) who has worked with scores of teams in the spirit of continuous learning, continuous improvement, and simply finding creative ways to collaborate and have fun in the workplace.

This past week we had the absolute pleasure to sit down with Nancy XiáoRong Valentine. Nancy is a West Central MN native who has spent plenty of time 'away' but continues to return to the area she calls 'home'. We enjoyed our conversation so much largely due to the absolute calm and wise insight this young woman exudes. Nancy is a self-taught water-medium artist and though often referred to as “the creative kid” throughout her lifetime, it wasn't until 2016 that she officially launched her creative career. With nothing but natural artistic inclination, self-determination and children's craft-quality watercolor supplies as the only tools in her bag, Valentine signed a lease with the Kaddatz Artist Lofts and began to pursue painting. Much of Valentine's artistry draws technical inspiration from her Chinese heritage and focuses on abstract themes of beauty, hope and resilience. She strives to reveal hidden connections to her audience through organic impressionistic design using mediums such as watercolor, gouache, Chinese and India inks on paper. Valentine believes that artistry and arts advocacy work in tandem and stays heavily involved in the Otter Tail County, MN creative community. In 2020, Valentine was named a Blandin Community Leadership Institute Cohort Member, Lake Region Arts Council Cohort Artist, and currently serves as the Vice President of the Kaddatz Galleries Board of Directors. This conversation is apart of a "Story Mapping" project in collaboration with the Rethos organization, Springboard for the Arts & the Ottertail County Historical Society. https://www.nancyxvalentine.com/about Show Links: https://www.newsweek.com/receptionist-excluded-pizza-wins-money-1589537?fbclid=IwAR1MXPrOG9TlAmhKBvH7koV0cJBuJndpexOq9EzlKSFz3XUQwavu1l6yV4w https://www.kare11.com/article/news/nation-world/boy-buys-spongebob-popsicles-on-amazon/507-cdabda98-eff2-4715-a8c3-85b5c98aa2e2?fbclid=IwAR1BFMgtp3Vz2NgJYEyRX85V_eUEI4EOmDZydPCcfJJNEi2s4POQqCn-mmY https://www.nancyxvalentine.com https://www.relevantmagazine.com/current/buzzworthy/a-woman-who-didnt-know-she-was-pregnant-gave-birth-midflight-with-the-help-of-three-nicu-nurses/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mike-thorson/message

Wie groß sollte eigentlich ein Product Backlog sein? Auch wenn es auf diese Frage keine konkret quantifizierbare Antwort gibt, widmen wir uns diesmal dem Problem, dass das Backlog "zu groß" ist. Dominique und Tim diskutieren zunächst, was für sie selbst "zu groß" wäre. Dann gehen sie den Gründen nach, warum ein Product Backlog explodiert sein könnte. Natürlich kann ein simpler Grund auch sein, dass man als Product Owner ein bestehendes Product Backlog übernimmt, was bereits überquellt. Und wie bekomme ich das Problem wieder in den Griff? Welche Tipps und Praktiken gibt es also, um das Backlog wieder zu verkleinern? Zudem diskutieren Tim und Dominique, mit welchen Strategien ich vorsorgen kann, damit das Product Backlog nicht zu voll wird bzw. nicht zumüllt. In dieser Episode genannte Quellen: - Roman Pichler: Be a Balanced Product Leader, not a Feature Broker or Product Dictator Im Zusammenhang mit Product Backlog Management solltet ihr auch diese Podcast Folgen anhören: - Das Product Backlog - Features wegwerfen - was braucht es dafür außer Mut? - Product Backlog Einträge sind nicht nur User Stories! - Story Mapping nutzen, um über Outcome zu sprechen Wenn euch die Folge gefällt, freuen wir uns über eine positive Bewertung in eurer Podcast App oder als Feedback auf produktwerker.de, per Mail an podcast@produktwerker.de oder via Instagram oder Twitter.

Today we had the great opportunity to sit down with Tausha Pearson, a Minnesota native who founded and operates Haiti Mama. Haiti Mama is a nonprofit organization that bills itself as a 'orphanage alterative' that provides services, training and support to Haitian mothers to keep kids out of orphanages and at home with their mama's. We discuss Tausha's amazing story, what her organization is up to as well as her experiences shifting back and forth from rural Minnesota to urban environments across the US as well as her extensive time working and living abroad. We also still cover 'what the heck' is up with Apples bloody syringe emoji? Apparently snow blowers are an 'amputation risk'? Minnesotan's band together to help find vaccines for folks as 'vaccine hunters', NASA lands a new rover on Mars and the northern cold snap breaks with some funny coping stories.

User Stories werden von vielen Product Ownern ihren Product Backlogs als eine Form von Product Backlog Items genutzt. Aus der Perspektive von Nutzern beschreiben wir so den Mehrwert, den wir mit unseren Produkten ermöglichen wollen. Allerdings gibt es einige Herausforderungen beim Verwenden dieses Formats. Darum unterhalten sich Dominique und Tim in dieser Folge über User Stories als Möglichkeit Anforderungen zu formulieren und klären welche Vorzüge dieses Vorgehen hat und welche Herausforderungen gemeistert werden müssen.

"Story Mapping ist meine liebste agile Praktik" sagt Tim. Im Gespräch mit Oliver erläutert er daher seine Leidenschaft für die Methode des Story Mapping und wie bzw. wo er Story Maps gerne einsetzt. Natürlich erfahrt ihr auch, aus welchen grundlegenden Elementen Story Maps bestehen und wie ihr sie mit euren Teams und Stakeholdern entwickeln könnt. Tim erklärt, warum für ihn die Diskussion über Wirkungsschnitte ("Target Outcomes") so zentral ist. Zudem hilft es massiv in der Diskussion mit deinen Stakeholdern. Zum anderen sorgt es für Klarheit - auch in der Diskussion mit dem ganzen Scrum Team bzw. Produkt- oder Projektteam. Target Outcomes bilden für Tim eine perfekte Verbindung zwischen einer agilen Roadmap und der Story Map. Je nach Abstraktionsebene kann ein solches Target Outcome sogar als Product Goal dienen. Wobei Product Goals vermutlich in der Regel etwas größer als ein Target Outcome sein dürften. Wenn ihr in dieser Weise ein (oder zwei) einzelne Slices der Story Map in euer Product Backlog überführt, habt ihr sofort mehr Fokus und damit Klarheit im Backlog. Auch Sprintziele (Sprint Goals) werden sich so sicherlich einfacher finden lassen. Zum Product Goal und Sprint Goal haben wir bereits Episoden in diesem Podcast veröffentlicht.

Story Mapping is a team meeting that helps educate the team on what is needed while also allowing people to ask questions and fill in any missed gaps. It is a good thing but can get sidetracked when people start asking to map out edge cases. We talk about a few different edge cases scenarios that can happen and what to do when they appear in your story mapping session.

Scrum Under Siege scores Story Mapping on a scale of 1 to 10 as an 11. We love it. Story Mapping is a discovery session and any time you get people in a room together tasked with discovery, sometimes the conversations get out of hand. Listen to this short podcast about how to avoid some unneeded conversations.

Story Mapping is a technique for visually documenting a story about how a user will use a product to perform the tasks that help achieve his or her goals. Story Maps are invaluable for reaching a common understanding of what are the key features that will make a product valuable.

  Product Owners think a lot about delivering value and how best to do that. One way that can help focus those efforts is a technique from Gojko Adzic called Impact Mapping.  On this episode, Gojko joins us to talk about the basic concepts, some tricks to asking better questions while putting one together, and ways to help facilitate better collaboration. It’s a very interesting area and skill for PO’s to learn and after listening, you should be able to start creating one yourself.           Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: PO Coaching and Consulting - seek taiju Gojko Adzic @gojkoadzic https://gojko.net/ Gojko Adzic - Impact Mapping with Innovation Games Gojko Adzic - Product Owner Key Skills – Impact Mapping, Story Mapping and Valuable User Stories Mark Schwartz - The Art of Business Value Ronny Kohavi - Online Experimentation at Microsoft Chris Williams - Why We Can't Stop Overcomplicating Agile

Episode 7 - Jeff Patton - User Story Maps and the discovery of great products Another one of the greats. I follow his work since years, I integrate lots of what he does in my work. Everyone knowing me or having had a training with me, knows what he does with Story Maps. But having come up with Story Maps and having written the first book around is „this little thing“ to Jeff Patton. Jeff is really deep into product work and he has lots of thoughts to offer on Agile and especially on everything around stories and story thinking. And one of the reasons he knows all about that is because he was already there when it happened. He was in the same building with Kent Beck when Extreme Programming happened and Stories came up. He was coached by Rob Mee of Pivotal Tracker fame. So, this is not just a deep dive on stories and the Story Mapping technique that emerged form it but also some oral history on how and where it all started to happen. Nowadays, Jeff more and more dives into the discovery phase and at the end of the podcast we will hear lots about this and where this might clash with Agile or how it is taught in most cases. But what is so relaxing is that we really don’t talk much process. And I think the reason is that product is much less process than it is orthogonal to process and it is about thinking of quality, what quality means to whom, for whom we’re building things and having empathy for them. Speaking of empathy: Enjoy a nice conversation with a humble, humorous and relaxed Jeff Patton! Chapters 0:02:04 (User) Stories - the base of all 0:13:19 Documents are like vacation stories 0:31:43 Story Maps - what it is, how i emerged 0:43:10 How to teach Story Maps 0:55:34 Struggling with the backlog as a prioritised list 0:57:54 Products we like: A BMW 335 convertible, Netflix and Spotify, an EV 320 Microphone and a Sonos speaker 1:04:34 Why have (Agile) things gotta be so complicated? 1:11:44 Is software harder than software and: First off, no process is going to help you Chapter Notes 2:04 (User) Stories - the base of it all Going down memory lane, meeting lots of now famous people, e.g. Kent Beck "People have gotten User Stories wrong from the beginning" "When I first heard the term "Stories" I thought it was stupid - what we’re doing is important stuff. Stories  … that sounds like fantasy or fiction … it doesn’t sound serious at all" "What Kent meant with stories was really stories. We should be talking with each other and telling stories about the products" "The goal is building shared understanding" "What we are talking about isn’t what to build. What we’re talking about with each other is: who’s using this product and why and what benefit they get. and understanding that we can then talk about together about what to build." "Where things go horribly wrong is when people use stories and try to do what they used to do." "So, people try to use stories as an alternative to other specification algorithms, when that’s not what they were meant to be" How stories are not precise and complete 8:22 Comparing stories and UML The promise with UML was that you had to learn UML and then you had to talk to someone who knew UML. Stories fix all this. "Stories fix all kind of crappy documentation. Because know we have humans to talk to to explain things" "I keep telling people that if you’re using stories, you have to change your process"  "The problem stories don’t solve is the way you specify. … If you’re using stories, you still have to figure out ways to specify." "I think people write documents because they don’t like to talk to each other." 11:15 Documents are like vacation photos  „The minute you write stories and hand them over without having a conversation, that’s the moment when things start to go wrong.“ 17:14 How Kent Beck never called "stories" "user stories" Rumors and misconceptions on stories and sizes and templates  How somehow people and many Scrum Master are spreading the rumor of „we have to use (User) Stories all the way   "The way Agile works is we build little things, and we work in short cycles. … But the problem is that when we build a product that is supposed to go to the market and create value it is not something we build in days." "Those things we can build in a few days hardly have value and it becomes hard to tell a story about those things" "I learned these things around 2000 and we called them stories and not user stories, and we didn’t use the term epic and you know, the user story template - we certainly didn’t use that." 23:14 How the founder of Pivotal Tracker, Rob Mee, was Jeff’s XP coach, refused using the template in his tool and now it does anyway: "I’m never gonna put that stupid template inside of Tracker … well, it’s in there now. And I’m sure not because Rob thinks it’s a good idea." "But the template falls apart super easy. … The conversations we need to have are far more sophisticated than that." "As a user I want just dumbs down all the rich conversations we need to have …" The three (or five?) C’s of stories Ron Jeffries 3 C’s: Card Conversation, Confirmation "The conversation is not about the acceptance criteria but about Who, What and Why! … It’s meant to be a bit of a back and forth." "What I see people doing these days is: Card -> Conformation" Documents are contracts and with stories "we finally recognise that documents are never gonna be good enough, they’re never gonna be precise enough and what matters is understanding and the only way we get it is by talking to each other." "Shared documents aren’t shared understanding" and that will make a lot of people uncomfortable. 31:43 Story Maps - what it is, how it emerged A solution for breaking big things down that take weeks and weeks to build into little things we can build in days. The metaphor of rocks that when you break them, remain rocks … just: little rocks. Just like big stories (no matter if you call them epics or not) that when you break them down just remain … stories. "Story mapping is the thing that I used to do to get from a big idea to break it down into small parts." How story maps emerged from the technique called "User Task Model" over "Span Plan" (influenced by the Poppendiecks) to Story Maps (which name came up in a discussion with Alistair Cockbourn). How Jeff wanted to write a huge book on everything outside of Agile, but then Story Maps took off and then the small book on story Maps got bigger and bigger. A next book is planned. Jeff is not afraid, and still has lots to say. It’ll be easy. Ha! Jeff’s book has three forewords. It reflects the mantra of product work, being credited to Marty Cagan, that it’s all about the intersection between valuable, usable and feasible. The three forewords represent that by having representatives from UX - Alan Cooper, development - Martin Fowler and finally product itself - Marty Cagan. That trinity is called a Core Team and is still widely used. 43:10 How to teach Story Maps Two good ways: Simply mapping something live and lead discussions, conversations. Mapping a morning from waking up to getting to work, then let a group mix the individual morning stories and change it, because some strange event happened, like: Getting up too late. These are ways that lets people focus on writing down activities rather than things or functionalities. Also, it makes obvious that different people behave differently. Further it teaches how to slice and cut things away, e.g. because there is less time than usual. some things can not be sliced out (morning hygiene) but need to be thinned out. Maps are useful for still seeing the whole while we flesh out the small things. "We need details when we go into the next sprint, but we still need to be able to see the whole. Because it’s the whole that has value. That’s the real value of a map." An application in a workshop: Planning the first release of a wine shop. 55:34 Struggling with the backlog as a prioritised list "There’s a lot of things I disagree with on how Agile gets taught and used and abused. One of the things I struggle with is the way it is taught that a backlog needs to be a prioritised list." "If you think of a new product … it would be completely impossible to understand what it is … based on a prioritised list of features." "It is so valuable to see the whole. And you don’t get that in a flat backlog." "When you talk about parts of a thing, you normally need all of them." 57:54 Products we like: A BMW 335 convertible, Netflix and Spotify, an EV 320 Microphone and a Sonos speaker Trying to find out why we like them. For starters, the BMW is super impractible for where Jeff lives, as they have lots of snow. He still loves it. Netflix now works for Jeff as a traveler, because downloads are possible. "Why we encourage people to talk about why they like a product is because why you like a product has a lot to do with who you are." "The toughest choices are not what features your product has, the toughest choice is who your product is for and the really hard choice is who your product is not for." "If people really love a product, I always ask: "What did you use before?"." "When you’re using a good product, you can sorta smell the thought and care that went into creating the product." "That’s what I really worry about when we talk all about Agile and breaking things into little pieces … that we lose sight of who its for and that we lose sight of all the little things that matter so much … and start working about acceptance criteria." 1:04:34 Why have (Agile) things gotta be so complicated? While teaching discovery (e.g. in 5 day immersion workshops), Jeff realises that people no longer know, see and have empathy with their clients, users, etc. "We have to come with a lot of process junk and waste to help us manage what we’re doing when a little bit of empathy and understanding of who you’re building for goes a long way." "In a lot of contexts it’s not easy to get to the customers. And to what you say, even if we could get to them, we don’t want to. It’s not comfortable talking to those people - and it’s unnerving sometimes." 1:11:44 Is software harder than software and: First off, no process is going to help you When Apple had a problem with a new carrier, it was normal for a developer to linger around at the carrier. "At Apple it was not not unusual, no one was asking: why aren’t you at your desk? Why aren’t you writing code? It was absolutely rational to do that." At a different spot: Q: "If you think of Apple, on a range from 1 to 10 where would you put the quality they ship at Apple?" A: "I’d put it at 9." Q: "Where would you put what you ship here?" A: "About a six." Q: "If you were at Apple and you would ship a six, what do you think would happen to you? You ship 6 here all the time." A: "We celebrate that we ship all the time." Conclusion: "Something has to change around here that is not process" "Everything is becoming more blurred all the time." "The hardware isn’t even the hardware. It’s the software that’s changing it." "More and more you buy a piece of hardware and it’s not like it’s in the box and the partnership with the manufacturer is done. There’s an ownership lifecycle that supports it." "I was at a conference in Australia and the speaker right before was a designer at Lego. and he came up with that idea that they came up with that perfect Lego model that was really testing well but it was too expensive to build. And he said „you know how it is when the perfect solution is too expensive to build and we have to figure out something different.“ And the audience was quiet and the audience was „no, I don’t know what you’re talking about." "I see so many people in the software world arguing for what’s best and not for what’s feasible and not understanding that it’s not about best …" We have to learn again to prototype. "And at times a prototype is more expensive than the real thing." "What’s interesting is that Agile Development has gotten totally effed up when it comes to this prototyping thing. There is all this emphasis on potentially shippable software, there is this emphasis on software being built and tested, but look: we’ve lost our ability to use code to build rough stuff to see if we’re building the right thing." "More and more I talk about learning velocity vs. building velocity." "If you’re trying to learn something the most expensive way is to build production quality software." "Building the wrong thing at high quality is waste." „If there is gonna be a contemporary agile way of building things t’s gonna be this mix of product thinking and customer centric thinking and Agile thinking and I’ll be honest: It’ll break the Agile Manifesto." Great final words "What makes a product better is not more stuff, it’s good stuff."

Agile tester JoEllen Carter sits down with Agile Amped at Mile High Agile 2016 to chat about using "Testing to Build the Right Thing", the topic and title of the hands-on session she presented with Lisa Crispin. After enjoying their experience diving into story mapping, the duo decided to share it with a wider audience. Though testers aren't always invited to story mapping sessions traditionally, JoEllen points out that testers can help determine where weaknesses in a story are before it gets build into the product. JoEllen Carter has more than ten years of experience defining the role of tester on agile teams. Her experience in software development and testing began in the highly regulated and QA-intensive nuclear power industry, and now includes direct marketing donor management software, staffing software, e-commerce systems, and project management software.

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Tim Ottinger, Mark Davidson Discussion Ryan Ripley (@ryanripley), Tim Ottinger (@tottinge) and Mark Davidson (@AgileDelivery) got together to discuss the role of the Product Owner (PO) and Product Backlog Management. Topics ranged from Minimum Viable Product (MVP), Story Mapping, Product Backlog Item creation, and what to do when the backlog becomes unruly. A key take away form this episode is the power and importance of a physical card wall. Having a space where everything known about a product or project is visible can make or break an agile project. Such an area gives teams the space to discuss, solution, and celebrate. The tactile nature of cards also has an impact on team members that a tool cannot yet replicate. Alignment is a great benefit of card walls, as is the ability to ask a basic question: “How do we know that this product / project is a good idea?” We wrapped up with the psychological impacts of a backlog on a team. And then…we called it a night. Will you help the Agile for Humans podcast grow? Please review Agile for Humans on iTunes or Stitcher and leave your comments on the blog site.

Joe Krebs speaks with David Hussman about Story Mapping, discovery techniques and agile product management

The FAST Agile is a combination of Open Space Technology, Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), and Story Mapping. After watching hundreds of participants use open space technology to organize and hold a conference, Ron decided that such self-organization practices could also be applied to software development.Rather than relying control mechanisms like SAFe and LeSS, FAST Agile is a scalable agile framework that relies and individuals and interactions along with pulling work in to teams. Utilizing a 2 day sprint, FAST Agile implicitly requires teams to break their work down in to small chunks and to swarm the work in a #MobProgramming fashion.

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Ron Quartel Discussion Ron Quartel (@AgileAgitator) is an agile coach, blogger (blog.agileagitator.com) and the creator of the FAST Agile framework. The FAST Agile (www.fast-agile.com) is a combination of Open Space Technology, Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), and Story Mapping. After watching hundreds of participants use open space technology to organize and hold a conference, Ron decided that such self-organization practices could also be applied to software development. Rather than relying control mechanisms like SAFe and LeSS, FAST Agile is a scalable agile framework that relies and individuals and interactions along with pulling work in to teams. Utilizing a 2 day sprint, FAST Agile implicitly requires teams to break their work down in to small chunks and to swarm the work in a #MobProgramming fashion. Documentation on the FAST Agile framework can be found at (www.fast-agile.com). We then moved on to the pain points of agile coaching, including: Fixing bad scrum implementations over and over again Lack of XP usage on scrum teams Mis-understanding of what makes scrum work Especially surprising is the low adoption rates of XP on scrum teams. According to the Scrum Alliance State of Scrum Survey 2015, only 16% of scrum teams also practice XP. The Version One survey had the usage rate even lower. Ron is giving a talk at Agile 2015 about using Scrum and XP for Hyper-productivity. If you're going to be in DC for the “big conference” this is a must see session. Finally, we wrapped up with a conversation about agile certifications. While the classes are good, Ron questions the value of “certifying” CSM's after a 2-day course. He started the #SayNoToAgileCertifications and hopes to see improvements in this area. And then…we called it a night.

Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 267 features our essay on story mapping.  Story mapping is a very powerful and under used tool for getting a handle on the big picture. SPaMCAST 267 also features Kim Pries with more logical problems. The essay on story mapping begins: Product backlogs are lists of “work to be done” at different levels of granularity and priority.  They can be large and unwieldy. It is hard to see the big picture of the work, regardless of whether they are in analog form (e.g. sticky notes or 3x5 index cards) or are housed in a tool (e.g. Version One or LeanKit Kanban).  Story Mapping is a technique that teams can use to help visualize a product backlog. Importantly, it lets the stakeholders understand the big picture, prioritize work and plan releases.  The Software Process and Measurement Cast has a sponsor . . .

Story mapping is a way to build a model of user experiences. More than that, in the Agile context, it allows you to tactically plan for what should go into each release. It is a way to get everyone on the team thinking and talking about user experience. Getting people into a discussion mode starts to create a very collaborative environment. Jeff discusses how to create a story map and how it fits into the Agile process.
