SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps product teams identify and map out uncertain beliefs and potential risks within existing or ongoing product initiatives, paving the way for focused experimentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Assumption Mapping: Identifies and documents key assumptions underlying current product features or strategies.
  • Risk Identification: Highlights unresolved risks associated with these assumptions.
  • Experimentation Focus: Generates potential test candidates to validate or invalidate identified assumptions.
  • Use Case: A product team launching a new feature suspects users might not understand a core workflow. This Skill helps them articulate those assumptions and suggests A/B tests to validate user comprehension.

Quick Start

Use the identify-assumptions-existing skill to map out the key assumptions for our current user onboarding flow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify assumptions and risks in an existing product feature?

Product assumption mapping involves analyzing project documentation, user signals, and personas to extract uncertain beliefs and unresolved risks, which produces a mapped list of assumptions for targeted experimentation.

What is the best way to map product assumptions to experiments?

Mapping product assumptions to experiments requires evaluating existing project documentation and user signals to generate a list of unresolved risks alongside potential test candidates, accelerating focused validation for in-flight product areas.

How do I generate test candidates for unresolved product risks?

You generate test candidates for unresolved product risks by analyzing user signals and personas alongside project documentation, which highlights uncertain beliefs and outputs potential experiments to validate or invalidate those specific assumptions.

Can I use project documentation and user signals to validate product strategy?

Yes, you can validate product strategy by feeding project documentation and user signals into an assumption mapping process, which analyzes the inputs to identify key strategic risks and generate targeted test candidates for experimentation.

What context do I need to provide to map assumptions for an in-flight product area?

To map assumptions for an in-flight product area, you need to provide context from project documentation, user signals, and personas, which the analysis uses to generate a comprehensive list of assumptions and potential test candidates.
