User Story Mapping is a very powerful tool to plan for product development (total picture, scoping, context etc.); we use it as a key tool for POs themselves but also a key Dev-Team+PO interaction. To make it feasible as a core process it's important that there is a strong connection with execution which usually is tracked in a issue/task/etc management system such as JIRA (and others). If (when) there is no integration between StoriesOnBoard and the issue/task/etc management system the pain is significant as manual synchronisation is a dread and waste of time.
The existing integration with JIRA is great, and there are some other ones as well; however, it's not feasible for StoriesOnBoard to provide integrations for all existing apps used by Tech - what can be done is to provide a REST API to enable the Tech organisations to fix integrations themselves.
So, first fo all an API would enable us to integrate with e.g. YouTrack. After that, who knows what we could come up with - and what the tech nerds could come up with on Hackdays :-)
