How it works

Three levels, one visual

01

Define your user journey

Add Activities (the high-level user goals) across the top. These become the backbone of your map.

02

Break down into tasks and stories

Under each Activity, add User Tasks. Under each task, add the User Stories that implement it. Drag to reorder anything.

03

Assign to releases

Tag each story to MVP, v1.1, or Backlog. See your release scope at a glance. Export to CSV for Jira import.

Why I built this

Problem

Story mapping is one of the most powerful discovery techniques, but teams do it on physical post-its or messy spreadsheets — both impossible to share or maintain.

Solution

A purpose-built visual tool with the exact 3-level structure (Activities → Tasks → Stories) plus release swimlanes, all drag & drop and editable inline.

Impact

Teams that story map ship more coherent MVPs because they see the full journey before writing a single ticket — and everyone is aligned on the release cuts.
