USER STORY WORKSHOP
The Ripple Effect of Frustrated Users!
When your users feel frustrated, they complain to their managers about how your product negatively impacts their work. And if it's impacting the job performance of your users, it's also impacting the performance of their managers.
The result is poor adoption and high customer churn.
Here's the bottom line. Does your product make it easier or harder for your users to perform better at their job?
If your answer is anything but easier, you don't want to miss this workshop.
You'll learn simple B2B techniques for understanding how to make your users more valuable to their organization by making them quantifiably better at specific job tasks that are critical to their success.
You'll walk away with a new and simple approach for quantifying the value of user job tasks and using those as the jumping point for writing high-fidelity epics and user stories, defining your MVP and creating higher-value products.
Here's the thing. Anyone can follow the user story format and plug content in to the appropriate places. But context matters far more than content. And that's where you'll learn the art of creating more meaningful user stories that result in products with guaranteed customer value.
Course Takeaways
- Content for your products that can be used immediately.
- Simple templates & worksheets for rapid adoption.
- B2B/B2B2C best practices you won’t learn anywhere else.

“I really enjoyed how the class flowed. John would share a concept. We would then take that concept and do an exercise around the concept. We would come back together as a class and share our work. The teams would sometimes miss the mark with their work but that was ok. John would take what they had prepared and coach them to the right answer. I feel that I was able to retain more of the concepts of the course because of this practice. Thank you for the great course!”
“Our entire product team took this course while in the midst of planning a line of brand new products and this could not have come at a better time. I’d also recommend having a copy of Managing Products to Deliver Solutions by John Mansour at your desk as a quick reference.”
“I really loved this course and the breakout sessions. This 3 day course was fun, collaborative and strategically simplified without a dull moment. You’re an awesome trainer and I can tell you have a passion for helping companies and individuals in being successful. This is a great addition to my Safe Lean Agile POPM certification, if not better! I would definitely recommend this course to my PM family in the Healthcare and Fintech industry.”
“I have twice participated in product management workshops delivered by John to product teams I manage. These have been very well received and have provided my team members with a great foundation of PM skills. John customizes the content to the type of products the team is working on, and makes it very relatable. These sessions also serve as a team-building exercise. I highly recommend this course.”
