product-capability

To translate product requirements into engineering constraints, you transform product intent into a capability plan that explicitly details system constraints, invariants, interfaces, and unresolved decisions to ensure implementation readiness across services.

A capability plan is a document that bridges product roadmap items and system requirements specifications by defining what must be true before implementation starts. You need one when a feature spans multiple services or teams to ensure alignment.

You bridge the gap between a product roadmap and a system requirements specification by analyzing product requirements, current architecture, and delivery constraints to generate a capability contract that outlines invariants and interfaces.

Yes, you can establish a capability contract for cross-service coordination by analyzing the delivery constraints and current architecture to document explicit interfaces, invariants, and unresolved decisions before feature implementation begins.

The best way to document unresolved decisions is to generate a capability plan that explicitly captures them alongside system constraints and interfaces, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned before implementation starts.
