User Story Mapping: Discover the Whole Story, Build the Right Product by Jeff PattonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Writing stories is simple, but not easy. In User Story Mapping by Jeff Patton User Story Mapping: Discover the Whole Story, Build the Right Product, we get the rundown on why doing it is a good idea, and how to do it. While it feels like story mapping is something we can just step up and start doing after hearing about it, having a guideline such as this by Jeff Patton is very helpful.
The first few chapters explain the basics, on how to get the big picture, plan for small releases and quick learning, and are really all that is needed to get started. However, reading through the latter parts of the book help understand some of the pitfalls, and guidelines on how to have a successful process. Of course, story mapping is something that might only come naturally after having done it many many times.
I like the way the narrative is written, although at times it can get a bit too jovial in the narration. Overall though, it strikes a good balance in being informative and entertaining, and is definitely worth reading if you're interested in how to develop better products.
