SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams surface assumptions and align stakeholders by mapping the problem space before committing to a direction, reducing wasted effort and misalignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Domain Mapping (Width): identify Technical, Business, Users, Operations, and Design domains relevant to an initiative.
  • Thinking Level Check (Depth): assess current thinking level to avoid conformist or premature conclusions.
  • Dependencies (Height): surface required capabilities and knowledge gaps.
  • Quadrant & Time Context: surface key questions across Inner/Outer and Individual/Collective, and determine whether the work is greenfield or evolutionary.
  • Identity Check & Stakeholder Alignment: surface attachment points and alignment needs.

Quick Start

Run orientation to map domains, assess thinking level, identify dependencies, perform quadrant and time checks, and capture what you’re attached to before moving to SPAR.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map problem domains before committing to a feature direction?▼

To map problem domains before committing to a direction, identify relevant Technical, Business, Users, Operations, and Design areas to surface hidden assumptions and align stakeholders early.

What is the best way to surface stakeholder assumptions during early-stage idea validation?▼

The best way to surface stakeholder assumptions during idea validation is running structured orientation checks that analyze dependencies, thinking levels, and identity attachment points.

How do I assess thinking levels to avoid premature conclusions in domain mapping?▼

Assess thinking levels during domain mapping by checking current analytical depth across quadrants to prevent conformist or premature conclusions before moving forward.

Can I use domain mapping for greenfield initiatives and evolutionary work?▼

Yes, you can use domain mapping for both greenfield and evolutionary work by determining the time context to understand whether the initiative requires building from scratch or iterating.

How do I identify capability dependencies and knowledge gaps for a new initiative?▼

Identify capability dependencies and knowledge gaps by mapping the height dimension of the problem space, surfacing required capabilities before committing to implementation.

When should I do an identity check before moving to the next planning phase?▼

Do an identity check before moving to the next planning phase to surface stakeholder attachment points and alignment needs, ensuring team clarity prior to execution.
