What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms structured data from the TIPS value-modeler into a visual Big Block solution architecture brief, making complex solution landscapes easy to understand.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Diagram Generation: Converts value-modeler output (JSON, Markdown) into a structured brief for Excalidraw rendering.
  • Tiered Solution Visualization: Organizes solutions into Business Relevance tiers (Mission Critical, High Impact, etc.).
  • Relationship Mapping: Visualizes connections between solutions via shared TIPS paths.
  • Roadmap Planning: Assigns solutions to implementation waves (Quick Wins, Strategic Build, Future Positioning).
  • Use Case: After running the TIPS value-modeler, use this Skill to automatically generate a clear, visual Big Block diagram that executives can use to understand and prioritize proposed solutions.

Quick Start

Use the story-to-big-block skill to visualize the value modeler output found in the current directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an architecture diagram from a TIPS value model?

To generate an architecture diagram from a TIPS value model, parse the Phase 4 JSON and Markdown outputs to create a structured Excalidraw brief. This organizes solutions into Business Relevance tiers and implementation waves.

What is a Big Block solution architecture brief?

A Big Block solution architecture brief is a structured visual representation of solution landscapes. It organizes solutions by Business Relevance tiers and maps shared TIPS path connections for executive prioritization.

Can I render TIPS value-modeler output in Excalidraw?

Yes, you can render TIPS value-modeler output in Excalidraw by transforming Phase 4 JSON and Markdown data into a structured visual brief. This maps relationships and assigns solutions to implementation waves.

How do I map TIPS path connections between solutions?

To map TIPS path connections between solutions, process the value-modeler output to visualize relationships via shared TIPS paths. This maps connections within a tiered Big Block architecture diagram.

What file formats do I need to generate a solution architecture brief?

You need JSON and Markdown file formats from the TIPS value-modeler Phase 4 output to generate a solution architecture brief. These parsed files structure the Excalidraw visualization.

How are solutions assigned to implementation waves in an architecture brief?

Solutions are assigned to implementation waves like Quick Wins and Strategic Build by evaluating their Business Relevance tier from the value model. This roadmap planning structures the final Excalidraw brief.
