Description

(This is a hands-on lab with limited capacity)

Got a strategic challenge, a vague idea, or just curiosity about Wardley Mapping? Bring it along! This interactive lab-style session is an open space for experimentation: there’s no fixed scenario, no slides – just your context and the opportunity to create your own Wardley Map.

Whether it’s about architecture, team setup, product strategy, or internal alignment – you decide what matters. Together, we’ll explore your challenge through mapping, step by step. You’ll receive guidance, structure, and feedback while staying hands-on throughout.

This is not a lecture – it’s a mapping playground. Come with a question, leave with a map (or at least a first version of one), and gain new perspectives on your system, decisions, and options.

No prior experience with Wardley Mapping required – just bring your context and an open mind.

Prerequisites

Large Room, open spaces, empty walls to plaster them with sheets and stickies
