Create Opportunity Document

Capture a business opportunity using the Opportunity Solution Tree framework.

When to Use

• New feature requests
• Market opportunities identified
• Product ideas
• User pain points discovered
• Business expansion plans

Workflow

Step 1: List clarifying questions in your response

Before creating the document, write out questions about:

• Outcome: What business outcome are we trying to achieve? What metric improves?
• Problem: What specific problem or pain point does this address? How do we know it's real?
• Audience: Who benefits and how? Is this a learning project or real business opportunity?
• Assumptions: What makes us think we can do this better than existing solutions?

Step 2: Gather answers or proceed

In interactive sessions: Ask questions and get answers to critical questions before creating the document.

In batch mode: Proceed with your best understanding and mark unknowns with FIXMEs.

Good title: "Selling lama milk online" Bad title: "Build e-commerce app"

Step 3: Fill in the document

Edit the created document to add:

• Outcome: The metric and target (use FIXME if unknown)
• Opportunity: Problem statement and evidence
• Solutions: Multiple approaches (don't commit to one)
• RICE Score: If enough info; otherwise add FIXME
• Strategic Alignment: Which competitive moats this builds

Step 4: Mark unknowns with FIXMEs

## Evidence
<!-- FIXME: Need user research data to validate this problem -->

## RICE Score
<!-- FIXME: Need customer data to estimate reach and impact -->

Tips

• Title OPPs by the problem/opportunity, not the solution
• Status: proposed -> validated -> in-progress -> done
• FIXMEs are OK — they track what questions need answers later
• Link ADRs that realize this opportunity using implemented_by: in OPP or implements: in ADR
• Use depends_on: when this opportunity is blocked by another
• Use conflicts_with: when this opportunity creates tension with a policy
