What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms structured data from the TIPS value-modeler into a visual Big Block solution architecture brief, making complex solution landscapes easy to understand.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Diagram Generation: Converts value-modeler output (JSON, Markdown) into a structured brief for Excalidraw rendering.
  • Tiered Solution Visualization: Organizes solutions into Business Relevance tiers (Mission Critical, High Impact, etc.).
  • Relationship Mapping: Visualizes connections between solutions via shared TIPS paths.
  • Roadmap Planning: Assigns solutions to implementation waves (Quick Wins, Strategic Build, Future Positioning).
  • Use Case: After running the TIPS value-modeler, use this Skill to automatically generate a clear, visual Big Block diagram that executives can use to understand and prioritize proposed solutions.

Quick Start

Use the story-to-big-block skill to visualize the value modeler output found in the current directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an architecture diagram from a TIPS value model?▼

To generate an architecture diagram from a TIPS value model, parse the Phase 4 JSON and Markdown outputs to create a structured Excalidraw brief. This organizes solutions into Business Relevance tiers and implementation waves.

What is a Big Block solution architecture brief?▼

A Big Block solution architecture brief is a structured visual representation of solution landscapes. It organizes solutions by Business Relevance tiers and maps shared TIPS path connections for executive prioritization.

Can I render TIPS value-modeler output in Excalidraw?▼

Yes, you can render TIPS value-modeler output in Excalidraw by transforming Phase 4 JSON and Markdown data into a structured visual brief. This maps relationships and assigns solutions to implementation waves.

How do I map TIPS path connections between solutions?▼

To map TIPS path connections between solutions, process the value-modeler output to visualize relationships via shared TIPS paths. This maps connections within a tiered Big Block architecture diagram.

What file formats do I need to generate a solution architecture brief?▼

You need JSON and Markdown file formats from the TIPS value-modeler Phase 4 output to generate a solution architecture brief. These parsed files structure the Excalidraw visualization.

How are solutions assigned to implementation waves in an architecture brief?▼

Solutions are assigned to implementation waves like Quick Wins and Strategic Build by evaluating their Business Relevance tier from the value model. This roadmap planning structures the final Excalidraw brief.
