Example Mapping: The New Three Amigos
Example Mapping is a collaboration technique used by teams to help refine requirements. Every team should have a set of “ready” criteria that includes some kind of workshop between development team members to establish a shared understanding. In a time-boxed Example Mapping session, rules will summarize examples or constraints about a user story, and questions about outcomes or dependencies are documented for future refinement. The end result is a set of requirements, written as user behavior, with a shared understanding among all roles on an Agile team. Members will participate in a live Example Mapping session and learn how to implement the workshop within their own team.
