SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automatically generate Wardley maps by analyzing a codebase to visualize the project's value chain and evolution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Produces an OWM source file and rendered visuals (SVG and PNG) to document the project's Wardley map.
  • Generates a companion analysis in docs/wardley-map.md to accompany the visuals.
  • Helps teams plan architecture and investment by revealing components, dependencies, and evolution.

Quick Start

Run the Wardley map generator against your project to create the Wardley map artifacts in docs/wardley-map.owm, docs/wardley-map.svg, and docs/wardley-map.png.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a Wardley map from an existing codebase?▼

To generate a Wardley map from your codebase, run the map generator against your software project directory to analyze components and dependencies, producing rendered SVG and PNG visual artifacts plus a companion analysis document.

What is a Wardley map used for in software architecture?▼

A Wardley map visualizes a software project's value chain and component evolution to help teams plan architecture and investment by revealing dependencies, maturity, and strategic movements within the codebase.

Can I visualize codebase dependencies and value chains automatically?▼

Yes, you can automatically visualize codebase dependencies by analyzing your software project to identify components and outputting an OWM source file alongside rendered SVG and PNG visuals that map the value chain.

What files are output when mapping a software project's value chain?▼

Mapping a software project's value chain outputs a Wardley map OWM source file, rendered SVG and PNG visuals, plus a companion analysis document stored in the docs directory to accompany the visuals.

Does the Wardley map generator work for software projects of any size?▼

Yes, the Wardley map generator applies to software projects of any size to analyze the codebase, identify components and dependencies, and visualize the value chain and potential evolution paths.

Why generate an OWM source file alongside rendered Wardley map visuals?▼

Generating an OWM source file alongside rendered SVG and PNG visuals provides an editable source format to document and update the project's Wardley map, while the visuals and companion analysis document the value chain for the team.
