Story Maps for Jira
Get started with user story mapping in Jira. Create visual story maps to organize your backlog and plan releases.
What you can do with the map
Screenshots from the running app, with notes on what each view is for.
Put the journey above the backlog
The top row keeps the user’s steps in view. The cards underneath are the Jira issues that support each step, so the team can talk about the experience and the work at the same time.
In a planning session you can spot missing work, discuss trade-offs, and agree on what belongs in the first release.
Keep Jira issues in the conversation
Work with the issues your team already has in Jira, arranged into a map that is easier to scan than a long backlog. Move cards as the plan changes without leaving the planning view.
Product, design, and delivery can point to the same piece of work while they decide what to do next.
Give each release a visible boundary
Use swimlanes to place stories in the release or sprint where they are expected to land. The map shows how the pieces fit together before the team commits to the work.
Worth checking: does this slice deliver a useful step for someone, or is it just a collection of tickets?
The new Story Maps experience is live
Story Maps for Jira now supports multiple maps per project, sprint and release swimlanes, and dependencies between issues.
