What problem does it solve?
Frame epics as testable hypotheses to surface uncertainties early, reduce risk, and guide lightweight discovery before committing to roadmaps or delivery.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Epic Hypothesis Framework: Use an If/Then structure to specify action, target persona, and desired outcome.
- Tiny Acts of Discovery Experiments: Design quick, low-cost tests (prototype, concierge, landing page, or Wizard of Oz tests) to validate assumptions.
- Validation Measures: Define a timeframe and both quantitative and qualitative success criteria to decide whether to proceed.
- Anti-Patterns & Guidance: Avoid vague outcomes, skip heavy commitments, and prefer hypothesis-driven decisions.
- When to Use: Early-stage exploration, validating new capabilities, backlog prioritization, and stakeholder alignment.
- When Not to Use: For well-validated features or when experiments are infeasible.
Quick Start
Fill in the If/Then Hypothesis, outline experiments, and define validation measures using the templates and examples in this skill.
