A Strategy and Wardley Mapping Primer

Wardley map
A Wardley map is a map for business strategy.[1] Components are positioned within a value chain and anchored by the user need, with movement described by an evolution axis.[2] Wardley maps are named after Simon Wardley who created the technique at Fotango in 2005 having created the evolutionary framing the previous year.[3][4] The technique was further developed within Canonical UK between 2008 and 2010[5][independent source needed] and components of mapping can be found in the "Better for Less" paper published in 2010.[6]
