SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires cli-owm, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows for the iterative refinement and evolution of existing Wardley Maps, ensuring they remain accurate and relevant as context changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Component Adjustment: Modify evolution positions, split components into pipelines, add or remove components and dependencies.
  • Map Enhancement: Incorporate submaps for detailed areas, add market forces, and update annotations.
  • Use Case: After an initial Wardley Map is created, new market information emerges. Use this Skill to adjust the evolution of key components, add a new dependency reflecting a partnership, and update annotations to reflect the latest insights.

Quick Start

Use the wm-iterate skill to adjust the evolution position of the 'Platform' component to 0.55 in the 'strategy/map.agreed.owm' file.

Frequently Asked Questions about wm-iterate

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I refine an existing Wardley Map with new information?▼

To refine an existing Wardley Map, adjust evolution positions, split components into pipelines, or add dependencies. This iterative process ensures your map accurately reflects new market information and client feedback.

Can I add submaps and market forces to my OWM format Wardley Map?▼

Yes, you can enhance OWM format Wardley Maps by creating submaps for detailed areas, adding market forces, and updating annotations to reflect the latest strategic insights.

How do I split components into pipelines in a Wardley Map?▼

Splitting components into pipelines involves modifying the map structure to represent sequential processes. This allows for granular tracking of component evolution and dependencies within the map.

Do I need Node.js to render OWM files for map iteration?▼

Yes, Node.js is required for OWM rendering via cli-owm. You must use npx to execute the rendering process when maintaining and evolving your Wardley Maps.

What is the best way to adjust evolution positions in Wardley Mapping?▼

The best way to adjust evolution positions is to modify the specific component coordinates in your OWM file. This updates the map to reflect the current maturity of each component.

When should I not use iterative map refinement for strategy?▼

Iterative map refinement requires existing OWM format maps and Node.js. If you are creating an initial map from scratch or lack a Node.js environment, this approach is not suitable.
