StoriesOnBoard vs. WorkJam

As mentioned earlier, we also use StoriesOnBoard to create other processes (customer and employee journey). We use the swim lanes to differentiate between measures, tools and processes and working with them is very easy and understandable for this purpose.

Less easy is the use of context, i.e. when one part of a story map depends on another story map. This cannot be avoided (at least for us) to avoid creating redundancy (and the risk of creating different stages). At appropriate places, we refer to the other map in the title.

Simple to use as an end-user, a Top-Notch security feature allows us to authenticate every user. It increases productivity and lowers the operation cost. The intuitive user interface makes it easy for our HR team to manage all employees in the field or remote working by assigning tasks and having a follow back.

• User role management
• Jira integration
• Keyboard shortcuts
• Filtering by personas

• The basic functionality is similar to other mainstream social media apps so it has a low learning curve for users.
• The mobile interface looks sleek and modern.
• The channel function makes it easy to set up different user groups.

• Switching the view to a vertical mode (easier to scroll).
• Better availability of information on user story mapping.
• Possibility to link to activities and steps from other maps (Context).

• No major dislike, I like how the updates are done constantly to add up new features.
• Great support system that is very proactive and user friendly.

StoriesOnBoard works really well; all features are well thought through. It could look a bit fresher, although the new updated dashboard is already much better than it was.

The only other competitor we looked at was cardboardit.com. Both had solid functionality, but StoriesOnBoard was more user-friendly and quick to learn and use in our opinion.

It's a simple, intuitive tool to use as an Engineer. I like how this tool is constantly improved and gives the best services like training employees, great channel feature which enables us to share information and messages, is also very useful. The support is there any time needed. It's a recommendable workforce management solution.

• StoriesOnBoard (and story mapping in general) creates a low-cost visual method of aligning on high-level business and technical requirements early in a project and provides an ongoing reference as the project progresses. Having this alignment is critical for the later stages of the project.

• Increased and positive cross-team communication.
• Quick communication method as opposed to EDMs.
