In part three, Ephie and Jason dig deeper into Jeff Patton’s book User Story Mapping: Discover the Whole Story, Build the Right Product. As they cover chapters 10-13, they delve deeper into more examples and stories to flesh out the practice of using story maps to guide the entire product development process, from early discovery to breaking down big efforts into smaller chunks.

Breaking down a large epic, or opportunity, into sprint-sized rocks can be challenging but is completely achievable with the right tool set. Selecting the right opportunity from a large backlog can also be extremely difficult, and Jeff gives some handy tools and frameworks to help guide that process using an Opportunity Matrix. 

As usual, Ephie and Jason sprinkle in some of their stories and experiences over the years, encouraging the listener to use these powerful tools in practical ways to improve product development.
