- 17. @sebrose [email protected] Keep example mapping short (less than 30 minutes) Not everyone need attend (6 or fewer) All unanswered questions should have owners Schedule example mapping daily (after stand-up) Business, dev, & test needed to be quorate (3 amigos) PO/BA brings story & candidate rules (not examples) Try to write examples fi rst, rather than talk Give team at least 24 hours notice about story being discussed (select relevant expertise) In my experience … High bandwidth is priority (don’t use Given/When/ Then) during Discovery
