Prepare for Battle: Using battle-mapping to visualise your next move.

A technique based on a military metaphor; battle-mapping visualises the environment you find yourself in. Understand and clarify the different allegiances between stakeholders and other interest parties. Allowing you to plan your next action.
This is a technique I have used with Product Owners and Stakeholders to help them visualise what goals and objectives they need to achieve and how to get there.
