Users have found the product to be extremely helpful in prioritizing upcoming build phases and maintaining sanity throughout the process. They appreciate the ability to import stories directly into Jira or other project management platforms, allowing for seamless work. The software has also been praised for its ability to keep requirements and acceptance criteria clear and clean, facilitating collaboration between contractors and clients. In addition, users find it highly useful for early project planning and throughout the life of a project, as it provides a high-level view for work implementation and helps with team alignment, quality delivery, and project status tracking.
The software is not only used by software development teams but also by student teams to better understand products and solutions before diving into coding. Despite being an essential tool for agile story mapping workshops with stakeholders, some users have switched to other platforms that integrate story maps with their workflow processes. While reviewers consider it the best storyboarding tool in the market, they do mention areas for improvement such as the lack of real-time collaboration and a clunky interface. However, even employees unfamiliar with the user story process find it easy to use and intuitive. The customer support provided has been excellent according to reviewers, who have introduced this tool to others and have been using it for several years.

After the company was founded, the software was developed without any feedback from the users. This led to the fact that often only features were implemented and bugs were neglected. There were also many features developed that were not used by the current users. After a reorientation, StoriesOnBoard is very helpful in defining a new, clear MVP and determining the further road map. We also use the tool to illustrate other processes, such as a customer journey and an employee journey. As a startup, everyone who works directly with the software and has gained experience in the exchange with customers is involved in the user stories: CEO, Support, QA and Engineers.
- Individualization of maps, annotations and colors.
- Clear display depending on the situation (hiding stories).
- Handling of the cards in case of changes.
- The possibility to change content directly in the overview (title, annotation, color).
- 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).
- (Negative) There were discussions about the type of Activities, Steps, and Stories (independent of the tool)
- (Positive) All received a clear status about the MVP and the road map.

We use Stories on Board to create story maps for upcoming software (SAAS) development projects. We start with a smaller group meeting, engineering and business leads, map out the high-level "happy path flow", and then add details on sub-cards. After getting a shared understanding and agreement on that, we use the story map to socialize with a broader set of stakeholders, updating with their feedback as we go. While the story map is a living document, we generally will take a screenshot of it and include it in our technical solution documentation and business documentation on our document management system, Confluence. We find StoriesOnBoard to be extremely user-friendly and easy to use, adding cards and sub-cards, adding details on cards as needed, and with the ability to collapse the view to hide the detail cards. While a user experience is almost never linear, we use the "happy path" to map out as best as possible a linear flow.
- Easy to add, remove, and move cards that represent different parts of the user experience (either external or internal users).
- Flexible with different views, zooming in, zooming out, hiding detail cards, etc.
- Can add an infinite number of viewers without having to pay more.
- It's perfect for our use case, I don't have any real complaints!
- 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.
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.
