Example Mapping Quickstart
Example mapping is a BDD technique for driving the conversation around a story. The main benefits are:
- Your team can gain a shared understanding of the story
- Your team can easily identify edge cases which will help reduce failure demand
- Everyone in your team can contribute as no formal language is required
- Everyone in your team will feel involved in the story kick off - no more walls of text!
TeamUp Labs' Example Mapping for Jira application provides all the above benefits as well as:
- Enabling effective digital collaboration
- Seamless Jira integration
Story Kickoffs (aka refinements, breakdowns, 3amigos) are great opportunities to use Example Mapping. The team should gather together (either in person or remotely) and discuss the story, starting with a blank slate. Anyone in the team is free to contribute to the kickoff by suggesting a rule, which should then be captured. A rule characterizes some of the behaviour the story should deliver. The team can then illustrate the rule using examples. Examples should cover the happy and sad paths, and will help your team identify edge cases. You can have as many examples for the rule as the team can identify. You can create as many rules with examples in the kickoff as the team suggest. If your story has a lot of rules, it may be worth considering splitting the story into smaller deliverables.
