FAQPage Schema
How do I convert vague product ideas into structured feature specs?

To convert vague ideas into structured feature specs, you need guided feature discovery discussions that surface assumptions and capture decisions. This creates auditable plans by facilitating triage and framing epics with clear acceptance criteria.

What is the best way to triage product ideas into epics and features?

Triage ideas into epics and features by using structured discovery conversations that evaluate and categorize inputs. This process frames broad ideas into actionable features and seeds initial spec artifacts for development planning.

How do I generate a decision log during feature discovery?

Generate a decision log during feature discovery by capturing assumptions and outcomes from structured triage discussions. This records risk assessments and surfaces dependencies to keep teams aligned throughout the spec planning process.

Can I seed spec artifacts directly from an idea triage session?

Yes, you can seed spec artifacts directly from idea triage. The feature discovery workflow converts ideas into features and transitions them into structured planning modes by writing initial spec outputs based on gathered context.

Does feature discovery planning work without predefined project dependencies?

Feature discovery planning operates without predefined dependencies by actively surfacing them during the discussion. It gathers context to identify and record dependencies, ensuring teams remain aligned even when starting from vague ideas.
