# Impact Mapping - The Secret Sauce

## Details

"Impact mapping is a lightweight, collaborative planning technique for teams that want to make a big impact with software products. It is based on user interaction design, outcome-driven planning and mind mapping. Impact maps help delivery teams and stakeholders visualise roadmaps, explain how deliverables connect to user needs and communicate how user outcomes relate to higher-level organisational goals." (source: [https://www.impactmapping.org/](https://www.impactmapping.org/))

Krisztina has been teaching this technique for years in hands-on workshops, with great success, based on the feedback shared on social media. There is never enough time, though, to talk about the secret sauce that makes this method's impact long-lasting (pun intended 😉 ). Join us for a conversation about the technique and these hidden gems discovered over time, to find out why Impact Mapping is so powerful.

## About Krisztina

Software engineer for more than 20 years, always looking for the right way to deliver reliable, resilient and expandable value through software, knowledge and empathy. Lately, I changed roles to help teams and companies to understand the benefits of domain-driven design, to enjoy discovering models before applying patterns :) I believe that agility is nothing else than feedback-driven development, that DDD and domain modelling reduce the waste of energy, time and future technical debt and that work must be fun.
