To create a design doc before implementation, you can run a phase-guided office hours session. This enforces problem understanding and generates a design document outlining scope, risks, and next steps, actively preventing premature code writing.

The best way to facilitate product ideation sessions is using a phase-driven design workflow. This approach guides teams through structured problem articulation and design reviews, ensuring stakeholder alignment and producing an output-focused design doc.

Yes, you can use this design-first workflow for open-source projects and intrapreneurial teams. The scope explicitly supports early-stage product exploration and design reviews across startups, intrapreneurial teams, and open-source projects to reduce misalignment.

To evaluate product ideas and scope risks during a design review, provide your project goal and current context. The session generates a design doc draft that outlines specific scope, risks, and actionable next steps for stakeholders to review.

A phase-based workflow prevents code writing during the product design phase to reduce misalignment and rework. By enforcing a fixed output format focused on problem understanding, it ensures teams articulate problems and generate design docs before any implementation begins.
