Story Mapping Template Word/Power Point

[Annette Valle]

I am a consultant and wonder if I can find a Template for Mapping and Prioritizing stories before I will be creating them in Jira?  Might someone point me to a fast-start template please.

Hi @Annette Valle 

What's the need for this template?

I'd advise getting stories into Jira as soon as possible - and mapping / prioritising on the platform. You can refine and expand the detail of a story directly in Jira.

For prioritisation, you could use...

• The Backlog of a board to show highest > lowest priority
• The Priority field if this is more relevant to your way of working.

If you're looking to create an actual story map, I would consider...

• Trello: Use Trello to create and plan your stories, then push the work into Jira using the Trello Connector when ready. You could utilise a power-up like Agile Story Maps to create a story mapping template.
  • You could also use Trello for initial story creation / prioritisation if preferred
• Apps: Apps for Jira like Agile User Story Mapping or Easy Agile User Story Maps allow for story mapping directly in Jira

Let us know if these meet your needs!
