SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill maps the PM-to-Director journey and provides coaching to diagnose the exact transition zone, preventing you from applying generic leadership advice to the wrong situation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Branching diagnostics: Four situational paths (preparing, interviewing, newly landed, recalibrating) each prompt 2–3 guided questions that reveal the crux of your challenge and surface tailored, numbered recommendations.
  • Altitude & Horizon framework: Every path links to the underlying mental model and Cascading Context Map so you can rehearse Director-level perspective shifts while still grounded in your current work.
  • Facilitation protocol alignment: Follow the workshop-facilitation protocol for consistent question-turns, interruption handling, and progress labeling so the interaction feels structured and coach-like.
  • Use case: If you are prepping for Director interviews or struggling to stop doing IC work after 12+ months, this Skill helps you choose one focused behavior to change next week and explains how to keep your leadership commitments auditable.
