Wardley Maps in software development

Remote Group Mapping Session

Let’s draw the map of a software development process

In software development we make long-lasting decisions at all levels. It is all the more important that we make them consciously, check our assumptions and become aware of the situation. Wardley Maps help us do just that.

In this free session we look at how strategy development works with visual tools and what we can do with it especially in software development. In the first part, Tom Asel (@Tom_Asel) gives a short introduction to Wardley Maps and a look at how they can be used specifically in software development. In a subsequent group mapping, we try to explore together how the approaches can be applied in practice. Participants should plan for 2 hours and have fun with the collaborative mapping.
