Story Maps Boards

What is Story Maps Board?

That's the place where we decompose our objectives. Each team has it's own board.

That's how does it look:

| Objectives → | 1. First objective | | 2. Second objective | 3. Objective | TODO |

Steps →	Step 1	Step 2	Step 1	Step 1	TODO
Tasks →	First action	First action
	Second action	Second action
	...	...	...	...	...

Each team can have only 3 objectives at the time. Some minor tasks stored in TODO column.

How we manage it

We use avion.io for managing our boards.

Flow:

• Company proirities
  • On Roadmap Meeting we decide what are main objectives now.
• Team priorities
  • Team leaders or e-team members set 3 main objectives or proirities for them. There must be 3 columns: 1. First objective | 2. Second objective | 3. Third objective.
• Team members priorities
  • Team leaders decompose each objective into deliverable steps.
• Keeping up to date
  • Every Monday each team has "Warmup" meeting, where they moving through the board and decided what will they do on the week.
  • When objective is achived, the team publishes a small summary into #announcements channel. They may also perform a Demo if they think the change is significant for others.

FAQ

What if there are more than 3 proirities

In that case, team must choose the top 3, and postpone the others to the next iteration.
