Storymapping the user experience

About

What does a great user experience have in common with a great story? Everything.

Translating complex concepts into simple, impactful narratives can help you more effectively imagine and evaluate your products, campaigns, content and features - before committing to expensive pixels and code. Developing a product with an experience that engages, influences and inspires can be a daunting task - but the art of crafting a compelling story is easily learned.

What

In this workshop you will learn how simple storytelling techniques can transform your next idea, product, campaign or strategy from good - to great. Whether you are creating something from scratch or optimising it for conversion, activation or engagement, mapping the story first will help you determine how to envision and develop something people not only love to use, but use and recommend often.
