Community Insights

TrustRadius Insights are summaries of user sentiment data from TrustRadius reviews and, when necessary, 3rd-party data sources. Have feedback on this content? Let us know!

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.

My team uses StoriesOnBoard to facilitate communication among internal and external colleagues. Since some functions of development are outsourced, we needed a tool that supported shared understanding. It is also a challenge and rather a lengthy process for a new external colleague to pick up on processes. We find that user story maps can help with that.
  • User role management
  • Jira integration
  • Keyboard shortcuts
  • Filtering by personas
  • Integration for NextGen projects
It's a great end-to-end tool from ideation through prototyping to maintenance. The Jira integration makes backlog management efforless for Jira users.
  • Specs are clear from the start
  • Budget is more likely to be extended because of the better overview on the scope
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.

A tool to feel good

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).
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.
  • (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.
Miro: The handling in Miro was not comfortable enough.
Easy Agile User Story Maps for Jira: The integration with Jira was a great idea, but the handling on the map was not good. Also, there were only 2 layers, which made it very difficult to define the cards.
