SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guides collaborative requirements discovery before implementation. Creates task directory, seeds PRD, asks high-value questions one at a time, researches technical choices, and converges on MVP scope. Use when requirements are unclear, there are multiple valid approaches, or the user describes a new feature or complex task.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Facilitates Step 0 task creation and PRD seeding to ensure immediate alignment.
  • Enforces a Q&A cadence with one high-value question per message to avoid overload.
  • Supports research-first exploration for technical choices, then convergence to MVP scope.
  • Documents decisions and creates an expansion-ready plan for future evolution.

Quick Start

Initiate a brainstorming task to seed the PRD and begin iterative Q&A until convergence on MVP scope.

FAQPage Schema
How do I brainstorm and define MVP scope when project requirements are unclear?

To define MVP scope with unclear requirements, use structured requirements discovery to ask iterative questions, document a living PRD, and align stakeholders before implementation. This process scaffolds tasks and converges multiple valid approaches into an actionable plan.

What is the best way to write a PRD for a new feature with multiple valid technical approaches?

Writing a PRD for features with multiple approaches requires research-first exploration and one-question-at-a-time interrogation. This disciplined scoping method documents technical choices in a living PRD and records decisions to ensure stakeholder alignment before development.

How do I facilitate collaborative requirements discovery without overwhelming stakeholders?

Facilitate collaborative requirements discovery by enforcing a Q&A cadence that asks one high-value question per message. This prevents overload, ensures immediate alignment through PRD seeding, and systematically narrows complex tasks into an MVP-ready scope.

Can I use structured brainstorming to align stakeholders before starting complex task implementation?

Yes, structured brainstorming aligns stakeholders before implementation by guiding iterative questions and documenting decisions in a living PRD. It is designed for complex tasks requiring disciplined scoping, ensuring everyone agrees on the MVP scope and expansion plan.

When should I use a guided requirements discovery process instead of writing a PRD directly?

Use guided requirements discovery instead of writing a PRD directly when requirements are unclear, complex tasks require disciplined scoping, or multiple viable approaches exist. It forces iterative alignment and research-informed choices that a static PRD would miss.

Does this requirements discovery method support documenting technical choices for future expansion?

Yes, the requirements discovery method supports future expansion by researching technical choices, recording stakeholder decisions, and seeding a living PRD. It creates an expansion-ready plan that documents the rationale behind the finalized MVP scope.
