Frameworks and methodologies for product excellence
Visualize your workflow, eliminate waste
A lean management method for visualizing, analyzing, and optimizing the flow of materials and information required to deliver a product. Learn how to map current state, identify the 8 wastes, and design an improved future state.
Find your bottleneck, unlock exponential gains
A methodology for identifying the most limiting factor (constraint) in a system and systematically improving it. Master the Five Focusing Steps: Identify, Exploit, Subordinate, Elevate, Repeat.
Align software with business reality
A strategic approach to software architecture that centers on understanding and modeling the core business domain. Master bounded contexts, ubiquitous language, aggregates, and the patterns that help complex systems evolve.
Write the spec first, build to match
A development methodology where specifications are written before implementation. Use API specs, behavior specs, and contracts as the single source of truth—enabling parallel development and eliminating ambiguity.
Work on the system, not just in it
The strategic distinction between working IN your business (executing tasks) versus ON your business (designing systems). Master leverage by using Value Stream Mapping to optimize processes and AI agents to scale execution—transforming you from operator to architect.
We're adding concepts like Jobs to Be Done, Opportunity Solution Trees, Impact Mapping, and more.
Suggest a ConceptThe "why" and "what"
Frameworks and mental models for understanding how work flows
The "how"
Step-by-step processes that apply concepts to real product work
The "with what"
Software platforms that enable workflows and surface insights
Value Stream Mapping shows where work waits. Theory of Constraints helps you focus on the biggest bottleneck.
Apply these concepts to the Research to Backlog flow. Identify that "PRD creation" is your constraint (7 day wait). Exploit it with AI drafting.
