Ten colors, six tools, one goal: Storystorming is a very lightweight approach for understanding your organisation's problems, designing suitable solutions and transparently planning their implementation. Storystorming seamlessly integrates impact mapping, event storming, domain storytelling, user story mapping, collaboration modelling and example mapping into one cohesive approach using ten colors of sticky notes. Using these six tools, rooted in agility, domain-driven design (DDD) and behavior driven development (BDD), Storystorming fosters an intensive collaboration between business and technology experts. Now they can connect the dots and discover what your organisation needs to remain successful.

33. Read the blogpost? https://medium.com/plexiti Storystorming goes Domain Storytelling Explore your domain—by literally watching your language @martinschimak
34. My take on some strengths of the approach - Record natural language (even without immediate full understanding) - Improve upon single terms and prepare your ubiquitous language (DDD) - Work close to some individual's human perspective, perfect for interviews - Focus on just one single example sequence of all possible activities - Clarify problems and exceptions - by adding assumptions or more stories - Discuss alternatives – just by taking a picture and rearranging stickies
