SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Teams often struggle to justify and trace product decisions across discovery, prioritization, and delivery. This Skill provides an auditable framework built on artifact pyramids to connect problems, analyses, and decisions with explicit sources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Artifact pyramid framework organizing outputs into L1, L2, and L3 layers with explicit SOURCES navigation.
  • References-driven workflow including RICE, MoSCoW, OST, and stakeholder communication to support decision-making.
  • Templates and guidance for discovery interviews, analysis, and governance to ensure traceability and repeatability.

Quick Start

Create a pyramid root and populate at least one L1 summary, an L2 analysis, and an L3 dossier sourced from references.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace product decisions back to discovery sources and interview data?

You can trace product decisions by organizing strategy into an artifact pyramid with explicit SOURCES navigation, connecting L1 summaries and L3 dossiers directly to discovery references for auditable governance.

What's the best way to structure opportunity solution trees alongside RICE prioritization?

Structure opportunity solution trees and RICE prioritization within a references-driven workflow that organizes analyses into L1, L2, and L3 layers, ensuring scoring templates and discovery outputs remain traceable.

How do I set up a living spec-template workflow for stakeholder communication?

Establish a living spec-template workflow by creating a pyramid root and populating at least one L1 summary, an L2 analysis, and an L3 dossier sourced from references to align stakeholder communication.

Can I use artifact pyramids for product governance and MoSCoW prioritization?

Yes, artifact pyramids support product governance and MoSCoW prioritization by mapping L1, L2, and L3 outputs with traceable sources, ensuring decision logs and stakeholder communication remain auditable.

Does this framework require any specific dependencies to manage decision logs?

No dependencies are required to manage decision logs, as the framework relies entirely on a references-based loading system to connect discovery interviews, analyses, and scoring templates across the pyramid.

When do I need to use an artifact pyramid for product management?

You need an artifact pyramid when your team struggles to justify and trace product decisions across discovery, prioritization, and delivery, requiring an auditable framework with explicit sources.
