SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guides collaborative requirements discovery before implementation. Creates task directory, seeds PRD, asks high-value questions one at a time, researches technical choices, and converges on MVP scope. Use when requirements are unclear, there are multiple valid approaches, or the user describes a new feature or complex task.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Facilitates Step 0 task creation and PRD seeding to ensure immediate alignment.
  • Enforces a Q&A cadence with one high-value question per message to avoid overload.
  • Supports research-first exploration for technical choices, then convergence to MVP scope.
  • Documents decisions and creates an expansion-ready plan for future evolution.

Quick Start

Initiate a brainstorming task to seed the PRD and begin iterative Q&A until convergence on MVP scope.

FAQPage Schema
How do I brainstorm and define MVP scope when project requirements are unclear?▼

To define MVP scope with unclear requirements, use structured requirements discovery to ask iterative questions, document a living PRD, and align stakeholders before implementation. This process scaffolds tasks and converges multiple valid approaches into an actionable plan.

What is the best way to write a PRD for a new feature with multiple valid technical approaches?▼

Writing a PRD for features with multiple approaches requires research-first exploration and one-question-at-a-time interrogation. This disciplined scoping method documents technical choices in a living PRD and records decisions to ensure stakeholder alignment before development.

How do I facilitate collaborative requirements discovery without overwhelming stakeholders?▼

Facilitate collaborative requirements discovery by enforcing a Q&A cadence that asks one high-value question per message. This prevents overload, ensures immediate alignment through PRD seeding, and systematically narrows complex tasks into an MVP-ready scope.

Can I use structured brainstorming to align stakeholders before starting complex task implementation?▼

Yes, structured brainstorming aligns stakeholders before implementation by guiding iterative questions and documenting decisions in a living PRD. It is designed for complex tasks requiring disciplined scoping, ensuring everyone agrees on the MVP scope and expansion plan.

When should I use a guided requirements discovery process instead of writing a PRD directly?▼

Use guided requirements discovery instead of writing a PRD directly when requirements are unclear, complex tasks require disciplined scoping, or multiple viable approaches exist. It forces iterative alignment and research-informed choices that a static PRD would miss.

Does this requirements discovery method support documenting technical choices for future expansion?▼

Yes, the requirements discovery method supports future expansion by researching technical choices, recording stakeholder decisions, and seeding a living PRD. It creates an expansion-ready plan that documents the rationale behind the finalized MVP scope.
