Published: Dec. 8, 2013, 10:17 p.m.

b'Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 267 features our essay on story mapping. \\xa0Story mapping is a very powerful and under used tool for getting a handle on the big picture. SPaMCAST 267 also features Kim Pries with more logical problems.\\nThe essay on story mapping begins: Product backlogs are lists of \\u201cwork to be done\\u201d at different levels of granularity and priority. \\xa0They can be large and unwieldy. It is hard to see the big picture of the work, regardless of whether they are in analog form (e.g. sticky notes or 3x5 index cards) or are housed in a tool (e.g. Version One or LeanKit Kanban). \\xa0Story Mapping is a technique that teams can use to help visualize a product backlog. Importantly, it lets the stakeholders understand the big picture, prioritize work and plan releases.\\xa0\\n\\nThe Software Process and Measurement Cast has a sponsor . . .\\nITMPI provides a great service to the IT profession.
