Storymapping The User Experience
This document discusses using stories to map user experiences. It begins with an introduction to why stories are effective and how they work structurally, with a beginning, middle, and end. It then discusses developing three types of stories: concept stories to explain what a product is, origin stories to illustrate how users discover and adopt a product, and usage stories to map the user journey. The document provides examples and exercises for creating each type of story. It also discusses using stories to strategize, communicate, and support user experience work like requirements gathering.
