SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you understand the dynamic flow of information, signals, and money within a complex strategy map, revealing feedback loops and critical dependencies that are often obscured in static views.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Flow Extraction: Identifies and extracts all directional flow links between components in a Wardley Map.
  • Feedback Loop Identification: Detects cycles in the flow graph, highlighting reinforcing or balancing feedback loops.
  • Minimal Contextualization: Adds just enough structural context (parent, anchor) to make the flow map understandable without overwhelming detail.
  • Use Case: After creating a comprehensive Wardley Map, use this Skill to generate a separate map focusing solely on how data and value flow between components, helping to identify bottlenecks or areas of rapid amplification.

Quick Start

Use the wm-atlas-flows skill to generate a flow-focused map from the strategy map.

Frequently Asked Questions about wm-atlas-flows

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize feedback loops in a Wardley Map?

This Skill detects feedback loops by analyzing cycles in the flow graph of a Wardley Map. It extracts directional flow links between components to isolate data, signal, and money flows, highlighting reinforcing or balancing loops.

What is flow analysis in strategy mapping?

Flow analysis in strategy mapping extracts and visualizes dynamic relationships like data and value flows across components. It reveals critical dependencies and bottlenecks often obscured in static strategy map views.

Do I need Node.js to render OWM strategy maps?

Yes, Node.js is required to render OWM strategy maps. The Skill uses npx to execute the cli-owm tool and requires the OWM DSL syntax for generating the flow-focused map output.

How do I extract data and money flows from a Wardley Map?

You extract data and money flows by generating a separate map focusing solely on dynamic relationships. The tool identifies directional flow links between components while adding minimal structural context like parent and anchor details.

Can I identify bottlenecks in dynamic strategy maps?

Yes, bottlenecks are identified by analyzing a flow-focused map that visualizes how data and value flow between components. Isolating these dynamic relationships helps pinpoint areas of rapid amplification or flow congestion.

What are the limitations of flow-focused Wardley Mapping?

The limitation of flow-focused Wardley Mapping is that it adds only minimal structural context like parent and anchor details to avoid overwhelming detail. It is designed for analyzing dynamic flows rather than providing a comprehensive static overview.
