User Story Mapping for Jira

Visual story mapping adds a 2D story map view to your Jira project.

See your epics as columns, stories as cards underneath, and releases as horizontal swimlanes - all on one screen. Every change syncs bidirectionally with Jira.

How it works

1. Your epics appear as the backbone — the horizontal row of columns at the top
2. Stories stack vertically under their parent epic, ordered by Jira rank
3. Version swimlanes slice the map into releases - drag stories to assign fix versions
4. Drag stories between epic columns to re-parent them

Key features

• Visual story map - 2D grid of epics (columns) × releases/sprints (swimlanes), with story cards in each cell
• Drag-and-drop - Move stories between epics, versions, and positions
• Slicing - Horizontal swimlanes based on Jira Fix Versions or Sprints
• Activity grouping - Group epics into user activities (Jeff Patton's "walking skeleton" row). Create, rename, and delete activity headers
• Color coding - Color cards by status, priority, or epic to spot patterns quickly
