What user-story-mapping does

The skill starts with the user’s goal and maps the activities, steps, and tasks needed along the way. It orders activities as a journey and sorts tasks by priority and release, making it easier to decide what belongs in an MVP and what can wait.

You define a user segment and persona, state the goal, then describe what the user does. The structure is provided in template.md. The resulting map can expose missing parts of a workflow and help set release scope. It is not a backlog or a substitute for user stories; it helps clarify what those stories should cover.

What it helps with

  • map a user journey as ordered activities
  • break activities into steps and tasks
  • choose tasks for an MVP and later releases
  • spot missing parts of a workflow

Example prompts for the agent

  • Map the user journey for placing an order, from choosing a product to receiving it.
  • Break this product workflow into activities, steps, and tasks, then outline an MVP release.
  • Help define the user segment, persona, and goal for a map of this workflow.
