    Example session with this skill installed

    Create a story map for a mobile coffee ordering app. The persona is a 'Busy Commuter'. Start from a product vision of ordering and paying before arriving at the shop. Define the MVP slice.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the story mapping facilitator

    I have mapped the journey for the 'Busy Commuter' persona. The backbone focuses on the end-to-end flow from discovery to pickup, prioritizing a walking skeleton that allows a user to complete a transaction.

    Risks & Assumptions

    • Assumption: Users have stable GPS and data connection while commuting.
    • Risk: High latency in payment processing could cause users to arrive before the order is confirmed.

    Dependency: Integration with the POS system at physical shop locations is required for real-time menu availability.

    Next steps

    1. Validate the 'Find nearby shop' flow with a low-fidelity prototype.
    2. Confirm the API latency limits with the backend team for the fulfillment notification.
    3. Review the Release 1 tasks with the shop managers to ensure fulfillment steps are operationally feasible.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Flat backlogs and feature lists lack the context of the user journey, making it difficult to define a true MVP. Teams often struggle to align on release slices, leading to scope creep and fragmented product experiences.

    What it does

    • Constructs a horizontal backbone of user activities and steps based on persona goals.
    • Decomposes high-level visions into a vertical map of deliverable tasks and story candidates.
    • Defines release slices using the "walking skeleton" pattern for end-to-end viability.
    • Surfaces hidden assumptions, technical risks, and cross-team dependencies.
    • Generates workshop facilitation plans, including agendas and timing for stakeholders.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    This skill enforces Jeff Patton's story mapping rigor, preventing the common mistake of turning a map into a simple feature list. It automatically applies quality gates to ensure the MVP covers a complete end-to-end journey rather than just a collection of disconnected tasks.

    Use cases

    • Converting a raw feature list into a sequenced user journey for a new product kickoff.
    • Slicing a large epic into an MVP and subsequent release phases for delivery planning.
    • Facilitating a story mapping workshop to align design, engineering, and business teams.
    • Reorganizing a cluttered Jira backlog into a flow-based map to identify gaps in the UX.

    Known limitations

    It focuses on the user journey and requirements; it does not handle technical architecture design, sprint task assignment, or precise effort estimation.
