User Story Mapping framework with nice header like Kanban

Some context elements : a story map can be huge and with a lot of swim lane (dependinf on your development strategy and releases). Activities and Steps (2 first lines) are crucial to know where you are in the story map at any time. That’s why I ask for a feature like your Kanban to show the 2 first line every time.

I’ve just found the thread and was thinking about the same thing! Maps tend to grow really big and as they do, they become increasingly harder to navigate without a sticky header.

I’d love to see activities and tasks as I scroll through releases of stories.

Hope we can see that soon!

I’d actually recommend extending this to be more than just two levels and to make it customizable by user. If I’ve got a story map which has personas, features/themes and then epics, I’d like to freeze all of those and just have the stories scroll.

I would go one step further and extend the idea to the swimlane’s name. It would be great to see the name of the release swimlane while scrolling horizontally. Alternatively giving a color or a focus to a swimlane would help as well.

@Miro This would be a huge improvement based on a already established concept in your kanban-Feature.

@Xavier It might be good to optimize the name of your great idea. e.g.: User Story Mapping framework with sticky header like Kanban.

Hi @Daniel Keller and everyone else,

​@ElvaMiro Any news on this idea? It’s hard to accept, that this isn’t done… Is this a big challenge? It seems to be very similar to kanban.

I can’t belief, that this issue isn’t prioritized. It’s such a pain and obviously solved in sibling component kanban.
Any updates from Miro? ​@ElvaMiro
