Figure it out

Skill

Unknowns

Find the question that could change your plan.

What it’s for.

Make facts, assumptions and unanswered questions visible before committing to a plan. Choose a consequential next inquiry and keep the evidence behind its classification.

Who it’s for
People planning work in uncertain or unfamiliar territory.

A possible output

A fictional project’s question map, with evidence, open assumptions and one next inquiry.

Illustrative example, not a measured result.

Before you begin

A proposed blind spot is a hypothesis to investigate, not proof that the problem exists.
