A record of how we started build the story map

1. Building from Personas: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1veZXxYutvHRtL_hv2lXOiH7AJorzZBs9ch3A0Qa4Xbc/edit?usp=sharing (this is a redacted version for data privacy reasons)
   • Why do people want to join?
   • What's stopping people from joining / painpoints

Useful categories for personas

• Nationality: do you need a visa to get to the event
  • Minimum time to plan your trip
• Transport connections:
• Resource availability for online events:
  • Do you have a suitable space and computing setup to join online
  • Do you have caring responsibilities
• Resource availability for in-person events:
  • Personality
  • Energy levels
• Frustrations were often not part of
• Funding situation

2. Swimlanes for participants and organisers

• we realised that we needed seperate lanes for virtual and remote participants
