SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns a flat backlog into a journey-based product view so teams can see what users do, what value is being delivered, and where scope is missing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Story Mapping: Organizes existing roadmap items into backbone activities, steps, and release slices so the smallest end-to-end slice is visible.
  • Impact Mapping: Connects goals to actors, impacts, and deliverables so product work stays tied to measurable outcomes.
  • Coverage Reconciliation: Flags journey gaps, unmapped tasks, and orphaned work so roadmap and story map stay in sync.
  • Use Case: A product team with a crowded roadmap uses this Skill to produce a clear release-oriented map, identify missing user steps, and prepare follow-up planning work.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to build or refresh the story map from PRODUCT.md, the discovery briefs, and docs/ROADMAP.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map a flat product backlog to a user journey?

To map a flat product backlog to a user journey, organize existing roadmap items into backbone activities, steps, and release slices. This reveals the smallest end-to-end slice and exposes missing coverage in the product plan.

What is the best way to detect gaps and orphaned tasks in a product roadmap?

Detecting gaps and orphaned tasks in a product roadmap requires coverage reconciliation against a story map. This process flags unmapped journey steps and orphaned work, ensuring roadmap items and user activities stay synchronized.

How do I connect product goals to deliverables using impact mapping?

Impact mapping connects product goals to actors, impacts, and deliverables, ensuring product work stays tied to measurable outcomes. It transforms a flat backlog into a journey-based view aligned with strategic objectives.

Can I shape release slices from a crowded roadmap without losing traceability?

Yes, you can shape release slices from a crowded roadmap while maintaining bidirectional traceability. The process reconciles roadmap tasks to backbone activities and updates the story map and product index without modifying code scope.

What documents do I need to build a story map for product planning?

Building a story map for product planning requires a product index file, discovery briefs, and a roadmap document. These inputs provide the backlog items and structural context needed to map the user journey accurately.
