Competency Questions
Purposedifferent
Wardley Mapping makes visible where an offering stands today and where it can evolve. The method connects user need, value chain, and evolution stages into a strategic basis for platform, build, or buy decisions.Competency Questions translate a domain model into concrete questions that it must be able to answer.
