Example Mapping is a structured conversation technique (created by Matt Wynne) for breaking down user stories with a small cross-functional group in 25-30 minutes. Using a hotel checkout scenario as a running example, the post walks through how to discover hidden business rules, edge cases, and new features by asking questions and mapping concrete examples in a Given/When/Then format. The technique integrates well with Event Storming's colour scheme and BDD patterns, and serves as a readiness check — too many open questions means the story isn't ready, too many examples means it's too big.
