  • Total Point count on User Story Mapping Template

There is a User Story Mapping Template that you can break down cards by release. In the title of each release it will automatically populate the number of cards that are in each release.  In the example below you can see a “3” after the release 1 title showing there are 3 cards in Release 1.  

We point our stories based on level of difficulty of each story ranging from 1 point to 13 points or higher.  We would like to see a spot in each User story where we can enter the “estimate story point” and then have the total number of story points calculate and show at the top of each release, just like the total number of cards shows.  Below is an example of Cardboardit that we currently use that has this functionality.

 

Thanks!

Yes, this would be great. I wonder if we can download the template and customize it.

OMG yes! PLEASE, this would be incredibly useful!

If you are considering to add points to this template, it would even be better if you would add value points as well.

Most user story templates only have story points by default, but I think this is a huge missed opportunity. It is strange to ask people to estimate how complex something is, when we don’t know the potential value of the work in the first place.

Anyway, i would keep the implementation of this feature as simple as possible. Just add integer numbers and leave it to the user which numbers they fill in here.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. We appreciate all insights.
