FAQPage Schema
How do I investigate technical unknowns in system architecture before deployment?▼

To investigate technical unknowns, you can orchestrate a structured spike workflow that coordinates upfront data collection, SA architectural investigation, and PoC feasibility analysis to produce a final spike document with recommendations.

What is the best way to document architectural decisions and risk assessments for engineering teams?▼

The best way to document architectural decisions is to generate a formalized spike document that ensures decision criteria, risk assessment, and clear next steps are recorded for engineering teams.

How do I validate proof-of-concept feasibility for a new system feature?▼

You validate proof-of-concept feasibility by integrating an optional PoC phase within a spike workflow, allowing tech leads to analyze technical viability before producing final recommendations.

When do I need a spike workflow for architectural investigation?▼

You need a spike workflow for architectural investigation when you must identify and document unknowns in system architecture before deployment, ensuring informed technical decisions and reducing risks during architecture reviews.

Can I use this spike workflow for PM planning and technical decision-making processes?▼

Yes, you can use this spike workflow for PM planning and technical decision-making processes because it formalizes decision criteria and produces a final document with clear next steps across MCP-enabled environments.

What are the limitations of running a spike investigation without formalized decision criteria?▼

Without formalized decision criteria, a spike investigation lacks structured risk assessment and clear next steps, which prevents engineering teams from making informed technical decisions before deployment.
