Outcomes
This exercise provides an opportunity to increase your awareness of the challenges and dynamics present in a product or project, and how you can implement a strategy to aid the successful delivery.
Timings
- Allow 30 mins for this exercise.
Equipment
- user story templates
- header templates
- sprint goal templates
- archetypes templates
- strategy canvasses
- scissors
- post-it notes
- sharpies or similar
Tasks Part 1: Setting Up The Story Map
- As a team choose which scenario you would like to tackle
- Arrange the user stories, and header templates to form a story map and release plan over several sprints, (check out the diagram of the story map.)
Tasks Part 2: Raising Your Strategic Awareness
- Work through the Strategy Canvas to identify:
- Your observations of the story map
- Where you think the value in the work is?
- Where are the challenges and risks in the work?
- Are there any dynamics that you can identify that give rise to the challenges and risks?
- Which of the archetypes do you think are appropriate for the scenario and the corresponding Backlog?
- How do you think you might implement those archetypes in the Product Backlog?
- Adjust your Backlog and release plan to implement your chosen archetypes recomposing the content of the sprints to get the best possible outcome
Tasks Part 3: The Debrief
- Finally on a sheet of flip chart paper write down what you observed from the exercise as a form of self reflection
