Our tours of Menlo Innovations' factory floor have now gone virtual. We'll spend 90 minutes together sharing Menlo's history, values, culture and practices - and how we've transitioned to where we are today.
One of the most helpful prioritization and alignment tools we use here at Menlo is the Story Map. It might be at your organization, too – facilitating planning, prioritization and conversation amongst multiple stakeholders.
Multiple hands-on exercises
Simulating projects in both software and non-software domains
Getting started – where to even begin; how to structure and scope a story map; define epics and milestones; how to think about feature sets to be prioritized
Great for organizing new teams, shifting to a product-focused organization, software MVP definition, even home renovation projects or vacation planning
Training, getting story mapping started at your organization
The Story Map is an important tool in our visual management toolkit to show the big picture plan for a project. As with all our visual management systems, the tool doesn't solve potential project problems, it simply exposes them so the humans can anticipate and solve them. This four-hour workshop includes hands-on activities to not just scope and build a story map but teach you to recognize potential issues and how to effectively interpret a story map. Build consensus, re-prioritize, and respond effectively to changes in project timelines and budget.
