FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate the feasibility of new technical solutions before implementation?▼

A structured technical research workflow helps evaluate feasibility by guiding you to explore options and validate technical implementations before full development. This ensures decisions are based on thorough analysis of research findings.

What is a spike in software development for technical decision making?▼

A spike for technical decision making is a structured research process to explore options and assess solution feasibility. It addresses technical uncertainties by evaluating approaches before committing to implementation.

How do I structure a feasibility study for software architecture options?▼

Structure a software feasibility study by defining a specific research question, like comparing microservices and monolithic architectures. This guides you through exploring technical options and evaluating their feasibility to make informed decisions.

Do I need the openspec CLI to run technical research and feasibility assessments?▼

Yes, the openspec CLI is required to execute the technical research workflow and interact with the spike schema. It is a necessary dependency for initiating research projects and guiding the feasibility assessment process.

When should I use a structured research process for technical implementations?▼

Use a structured research process when considering new technologies or solutions for a project to explore and validate options before proceeding. It addresses technical uncertainties and ensures decisions are based on thorough analysis.
