SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you figure out why progress is slow or outcomes are weak by applying resource reasoning to allocation, constraints, leverage, and waste.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Allocation analysis: Makes trade-offs explicit when distributing limited time, people, budget, or effort across competing priorities (e.g., choosing which projects to fund).
  • Bottleneck analysis: Identifies the true constraint in a workflow using Theory of Constraints logic (e.g., locating where work queues and output falls below demand).
  • Leverage mapping: Ranks the highest-impact investments that multiply returns (e.g., prioritizing system or tooling changes that unblock many teams).
  • Waste audit: Detects lost or duplicated effort using knowledge-work waste categories (e.g., reducing rework, waiting, and over-processing).

Quick Start

Use the resource skill when you are deciding where to focus effort and say: "My situation is resource-constrained and progress feels stuck; route me to the right resource method and run it."

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify the true bottleneck slowing down my team's throughput?▼

Bottleneck analysis locates the true constraint in a workflow using Theory of Constraints logic. It identifies where work queues and output falls below demand, helping you pinpoint the exact resource limiting your overall throughput.

What is the best way to allocate limited budget across competing priorities?▼

Allocation analysis makes trade-offs explicit when distributing limited time, people, budget, or effort across competing priorities. It helps determine the highest-impact next action by evaluating which projects or tasks deserve funding.

How do I find and reduce wasted effort in our knowledge work processes?▼

A waste audit detects lost or duplicated effort using knowledge-work waste categories. It identifies areas of rework, waiting, and over-processing, allowing you to target and eliminate specific inefficiencies slowing down your team.

When should I use leverage mapping for resource planning?▼

Use leverage mapping when you need to rank the highest-impact investments that multiply returns. It is ideal for prioritizing system or tooling changes that unblock many teams, ensuring your limited resources deliver maximum value.

Can this diagnose resource constraints if we have no dedicated project management software?▼

Yes, this diagnosis applies to scenarios involving competing priorities, slow throughput, and underperforming investments without requiring dedicated software dependencies. It routes you to the right resource method and produces a structured diagnosis natively.
