User story mapping is a visual exercise that helps product managers and development teams define and prioritize work by collaboratively determining a user's journey when interacting with your product. Participants of a user story mapping session will develop a shared understanding with their peers of the product they intend to deliver. Developers will understand what is the most important pieces to build and in what order, reducing the amount of output required to create the best outcome with the biggest impact for your players.

In this session you will learn how user story mapping is used to cut development waste and align team members behind a single, well-defined goal.
