SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables objective diagnosis of the project’s binding constraint by combining internal state with external research, ensuring decisions focus on the factor most limiting progress.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Independent constraint diagnosis by synthesizing internal charters and external research to surface the binding constraint.
  • Scoring framework that rates constraints on a 0-5 scale to prioritize actions and track progress.
  • Dashboard maintenance: updates to work/charters/CONSTRAINTS.md with evidence, scores, and rationales to support governance decisions, strategy reviews, and risk management.

Quick Start

Analyze ROADMAP.md and CONSTRAINTS.md, perform external research, and update the constraint dashboard.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify the binding constraint in a project management workflow?

Identify the binding constraint by combining internal project state with external research to score 19 constraints on a 0-5 scale, surfacing the specific bottleneck most limiting progress for objective prioritization.

What is theory of constraints risk analysis and when do I need it?

Theory of constraints risk analysis diagnoses the single factor limiting project throughput. You need it when charters stall and governance decisions require objective evidence to prioritize actions across concurrent phases.

How do I score and update a constraints dashboard from roadmap files?

Score constraints by reading ROADMAP.md and related charter files, conducting external searches, then updating work/charters/CONSTRAINTS.md with evidence, 0-5 scores, and rationales to maintain an accurate constraints dashboard.

Can I use independent research to prioritize project bottlenecks?

Yes, you can synthesize independent external research with internal project charters to objectively prioritize bottlenecks, ensuring strategy reviews focus on the binding constraint rather than assumed issues.

What is the best way to evaluate unchecked project phases for bottlenecks?

The best way to evaluate unchecked phases is combining internal state files with external research to score limitations, updating the constraints dashboard to guide prioritization and governance decisions.

Why does constraint evaluation require both internal charters and external searches?

Constraint evaluation requires both because internal charters provide current project state while external searches validate scoring against broader risk-analysis data, ensuring the diagnosis of the binding constraint is objective.
