User Story Mapping: Discover the Whole Story, Build the Right Product by Peter Economy, Jeff Patton
3.0
The ideas are helpful and I agree with other reviewers that it just had too much fluff/repetition.
I also had no idea how to take the ideas in this book and apply it in real life without the team size to back it up or an advocate to push these ideas through to the end. In all of the discussions of what kinds of conversations to have there wasn't a mention (that I saw) of what it takes to coordinate that kind of work.
My assumption is that the author has a blind spot for the critical role someone like him plays when working with a team to collaborate on handling projects the way he advocates handling them in the book.
So it was great to see all of these teams doing a wonderful job and at the same time, terribly demoralizing and made me feel like there's a utopia where stakeholders and developers are ok getting pulled into a hundred conversations in a week with the added time of prep work and cleanup from those discussions.
Also, a lot of these concepts are great if you're in the same room. I work remotely (even before COVID19) and am used to books ignoring the fact that not everyone works in the office.
