Martyn FrankWe have been using Example Mapping for at least 3 years now. It has proven time and time again to drive the right conversations when we "Kick Off" a Story. I am certain this approach has reduced the number of bugs introduced, improved the shared understanding of the requirements, and ultimately improved the solutions the teams deliver.
Whilst using Example Mapping we have experimented with many tool to support the teams with this process; post it notes, excel sheets, online white-boarding and Trello. All of which worked to varying degrees, but all somewhat clunky and requiring manual steps distracting from the conversation.
This add on gives us the ability to undertake example mapping right inside of Jira, removing any manual steps and keeping the team focused. We have also found the way rules, examples and questions are visualized help people to a Story understand the detail much faster than using tradition user stories. If you are using Example Mapping already, then I cannot recommend this add on enough. If you are not yet using Example Mapping then this is a great way to get started.
