Storystorming is a lean combination of methods to collaboratively explore and design user journeys, work procedures and business processes as well as to refine them into working software models.

Time! Human Human Predicate Object Predicate Object System A B C 1 2 Assumed Behavior We are a family of four (two parents, two teenagers) and have to take care of shopping on a regular basis. Everybody should help a bit from time to time! Therefore we use a mobile ToDo App with a shared shopping list. All family members can add shopping items to this list, such as e.g. "1 loaf of bread". Items may be marked to be urgently needed on a certain date. The shopping list will then inform all family members about such an urgently needed item. Whoever has time or comes by a suitable shop just marks any bought item as Done in the shopping list. Hands-on

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 – just by adding assumptions or events - Discuss alternatives – just by taking a picture and rearranging stickies
