SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps visualize the intricate supply chain dependencies for each individual user need, revealing complexity and infrastructure reliance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-Need Mapping: Generates a dedicated Wardley Map for each user need, tracing its full supply chain from need to infrastructure.
  • Dependency Analysis: Highlights chain depth, complexity concentration, and shared infrastructure across different needs.
  • Use Case: After creating a comprehensive Wardley Map, use this Skill to isolate and analyze the specific infrastructure and capabilities required to deliver a single, critical user need, such as "online account creation."

Quick Start

Generate detailed supply chain maps for each user need identified in the project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace a Wardley Map supply chain for a specific user need?

To trace a Wardley Map supply chain for a specific user need, generate a focused map isolating the chain from need to infrastructure. This analyzes chain depth, complexity concentration, and infrastructure dependencies for that single requirement.

What is dependency analysis for individual user needs in Wardley Mapping?

Dependency analysis for individual user needs in Wardley Mapping visualizes the complete supply chain required to deliver a single feature. It highlights chain depth and shared infrastructure reliance across different needs.

How do I isolate infrastructure dependencies from a comprehensive Wardley Map?

To isolate infrastructure dependencies from a comprehensive Wardley Map, generate per-need maps for critical user requirements like online account creation. This traces the full supply chain and exposes complexity concentration.

Do I need Node.js to render Wardley Maps for supply chain analysis?

Yes, you need Node.js and the cli-owm tool to render the Wardley Maps required for this supply chain analysis. These tools visualize the generated maps and their infrastructure dependencies.

When should I map supply chains per need instead of using a single comprehensive Wardley Map?

You should map supply chains per need when you need to analyze the specific infrastructure and capabilities required to deliver a single, critical user need. This isolates complexity that a comprehensive map might obscure.

What is the best way to analyze complexity concentration across different user needs?

The best way to analyze complexity concentration across different user needs is to generate focused Wardley Maps for each requirement. This traces individual supply chains and highlights shared infrastructure dependencies.
