Avion

Avion is an app that helps users plan and build software more effectively by providing a way to visualise an entire product from the perspective of users. It's built for product managers and agile teams that struggle to see the bigger picture.

🙅‍♀️ The problem

When building software, development teams typically work with a flat list of user stories, also known as a product backlog. However, this common practice has lots of problems:

• A flat backlog won’t help identify all the user stories needed when planning releases
• It becomes difficult to visualise the whole product and uncover gaps in the plan
• Long lists of user stories doesn’t help teams understand exactly what’s going on
• Design and dev teams become misaligned because there isn’t a shared product vision

🛠 The solution

Avion offers a unique way to structure user stories within the context of key user journeys. This process is called user story mapping and it has advantages over a traditional flat list of user stories learn more about this here.

🚀 With Avion users can:

• Visualise the entire product and its user journeys on a story map
• Effectively plan future releases and uncover gaps in plans by identifying dependencies
• Focus on delivering real value to users by prioritising the right work
• Share release plans and product roadmap with the whole team
