Workshop description

User stories in GIS
Embark on a journey into user stories with our workshop, designed to demystify the needs of users and transform them into impactful narratives for solutions provided by Geographic Information System (GIS).

User stories in GIS are narratives that express the user’s needs and expectations, emphasizing the practical application of GIS. They are a powerful tool in GIS development as they shift the focus from technical specifications to user practices, promoting clearer communication and efficient prioritization of features.

In this interactive session participants will dive into user stories, crafting narratives that shape GIS solutions. Step away from overwhelming project specs and tech talk, and focus on what truly matters in GIS: how it leads to real solutions. During the workshop we will break down into teams and guide you along each step of the user story design process. You will create a story map and layout your user stories with priorities and business values to then determine your solution in GIS.
