This template contains everything your team needs to create a user story map as described by Jeff Patton. You'll build a "skeleton" from your user journey and then you will determine what features, epics, and stories the team needs to build to support that journey. Finally, you'll decide what features, epics, and stories belong into Release 1 and in future releases. Along the way you'll capture action items.

Popularized by Jeff Patton in 2005, the user story mapping technique is an agile way to manage product backlogs. Whether you’re working alone or with a product team, you can leverage user story mapping to plan product releases. User story maps help teams stay focused on the business value and release features that customers care about. The framework helps to get a shared understanding for the cross-functional team of what needs to be done to satisfy customers' needs.
