Product Definition
Translating understanding into actionable scope.
The artifact-producing section. Every craft here outputs a written thing — brief, story, map, decision — that survives the room in which it was made. This section bridges Discovery (Volume II) and Scope (Volume III).
Primary owners: PO, with the Trio joining at Epic and amigos. Primary volumes: II — Discovery & Brief and III — Scope & Shape.
