A map is a visualisation of the way pieces of information relate to one another. We are surrounded by simple maps every day: calendars, backlogs, meeting agendas. As product managers, we can use maps to help our teams pull apart complex problems and uncover the most valuable next steps to drive action. Maps can be applied in all areas of product management, to any problem.   Examples of maps that you may have used before include user journey maps, stakeholder maps, process maps, service blueprints, technical audits etc.
