product-capability

To translate product intent into engineering constraints, you transform product requirements into a detailed capability plan that documents business rules, scope boundaries, and invariants before implementation begins. This ensures all constraints and interfaces are explicitly defined upfront.

A capability contract is an SRS-style capability plan that defines business rules, scope boundaries, and invariants. You need one when a new feature requires collaboration across multiple services, ensuring constraints and interfaces are documented before implementation starts.

Yes, capability planning is designed for complex feature development requiring collaboration across multiple services. It helps define the necessary constraints, interfaces, and decisions upfront, ensuring all cross-service dependencies are explicitly documented.

You document business rules and scope boundaries by creating a detailed capability plan from product requirements. This plan acts as an implementation contract, ensuring all invariants and decisions are explicitly recorded before engineering teams begin development.

The best way to define interfaces and decisions is by applying capability planning to convert product requirements into an SRS-style contract. This approach ensures all engineering constraints and scope boundaries are documented before implementation begins.

You should avoid creating a detailed capability plan for simple feature developments that do not require collaboration across multiple services. It is specifically designed for complex features needing explicit constraints, interfaces, and documented invariants.
