Avion is a digital user story mapping tool that helps product teams break down complexity, map out user journeys, build out the entire scope of their product, and decide what to deliver and in what order. It was founded by James Sear and Tim Ramage with the goal of providing an intuitive and enjoyable user story mapping experience for agile teams. The founders were interested in the product management side of delivery and found that user story mapping was a valuable technique for pulling together all core user journeys, scope of features, and how to deliver them. Avion has evolved from a collaborative tool for product teams to a more comprehensive platform with integration with traditional backlog tools like Jira and Azure DevOps. The company faces challenges in a crowded productivity space but believes its unique value proposition allows it to stand out. Avion has found MongoDB Atlas to be an excellent solution for production scaling issues, providing features such as usage graphs and metrics that help pinpoint problems, and seamless upgrades to the latest version of the database.
