User story mapping
Together, we map out the tasks a user needs to perform and create a visual overview. The story map allows us to focus on the user's needs, discuss priorities and understand how the flow fits together.
Affinity mapping
You might be familiar with estimation techniques like Scrum poker. Sometimes you need a way to estimate more items faster. Taking the story map example from above, we need to find out how complex building those things might be. Together, we estimate the task complexity in an affinity estimation session.
After the workshop you should be familiar with the basics of user story mapping and affinity estimations, ready to try them in one of your product development sessions.
