Story maps
Start with the objective and ask:
- What problem are you trying to solve?
- What product do you want to create?
- Are there any features you want to add?
- What will a user most likely want to do at each point?
- What mistakes could a user make at any point?
- What could confuse a user at any point?
- What additional information might a user need?
- How will giving users each aspect add value to the bottom line?

Quotes
- "Stories aren’t the requirements; they’re discussions about solving problems for our organisation, our customers and our users that lead to agreements on what to build."
