1. Focus: Business Value
2. Task: a. Whole team goes through cardsb. Have a conversation: shared understandingc. Create minimal 1st slice: the Walking Skeleton
3. Goal:a. NOT a fully releasable feature setb. BUT a feature set that works and can be tested for early feedback
4. Attention:a. A story map isn’t a matrix! Zero stories or multiple stories under an activity header are ok.
