An Epic Landscape is a breadth-first picture of the high-level capabilities and deliverables needed to address business problems and achieve measurable goals. It keeps valuable epics in view without attempting to map every possible capability. section 4.4.4
Build an Epic Landscape by moving from business problems to focused deliverables:
- Turn each pain point into a tangible, measurable goal. section 4.4.4
- Identify the relevant actors, impacts, and high-level deliverables using an approach similar to Impact Mapping. section 4.4.4
- Discuss potential impacts and deliverables, retaining only the most valuable ones so the landscape remains focused. section 4.4.4
- Use the resulting landscape to understand which business goals deserve attention first. section 4.5
Increasing business-traveler visits
A team converts the problem of weak business-customer interest into a goal: increase visits from business travelers by 300%. It then considers actions such as a prominent “fly business with us” message and keeps the most valuable deliverables in the landscape. section 4.4.4
