I've looked at them briefly but never had the need. I prefer a more fluid approach using event storming but I guess they may have their place with strategic decisions. I hate to admit it but what put me off them was meeting Simon Wardley. He just came off too arrogant and I'm always suspicious of a technique the creator named after themselves. Smacks too much of self promotion and not enough of actual utility.

I have. They can be useful, but more for what they bring out in the discussion of creating them rather than as an artefact in themselves.

@otfrom doesn't that tend to be the whole point of any of these techniques?

I like that it's a structured way of visualising things... but I don't 100% see how it's better than a discussion around a whiteboard

I’m interested in them as a way of discovering time trends

@U79NZHC6A it should be a discussion around a whiteboard. The mapping just gives a framework for thinking about it

hmm... I'm not sure what you mean there @U82DUDVMH

His x line. How things change from discovery to commodity and back again

It helps to prioritise and categorise options that would otherwise be look samey

(Have not met the creator but I try not to avoid tools with obnoxious creators, otherwise a lot of the modern world would be hard to use :) )

Context, I’ve been thinking of ways to generate ideas for gaining competitive advantage and for identifying weak areas of a career. You know how many people talk about treating a career as a business?

aha, like the erik dietrich thing

the most famous article series is this: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/the-gervais-principle/

(which incidentally I found out about through reading Erik Dietrich’s book someone recommended to me. It always amazes me how laterally discovery process works)

There is no contributors section in the readme? I feel like it would be great to have an easy to use / fully featured web stack, so I’m somewhat curious about contributing (but not promising anything!)

There's some guidelines in the docs, what is it you're looking for exactly? I've probably overlooked it 😊
