How do I conduct a trade-off analysis for a new feature discussion?▼

To conduct a trade-off analysis for feature discussions, compare available options by highlighting their pros, cons, and risks. This process distinguishes between known facts, assumptions, and unknowns to aid informed decision-making.

How do I document project planning decisions and risk identification?▼

You document project planning decisions and risk identification by creating a DISCUSSION.md file. This document outlines the project's goals, scope, constraints, and recommended next steps before moving into detailed planning.

Can I use this for project kick-offs to clarify assumptions and unknowns?▼
