Wayfinder turns an unclear engineering project into a visible map of decisions. It helps a team identify what must be settled, what depends on what, and where the next useful piece of work begins.
Use it when
- A software effort is too large or ambiguous to start cleanly.
- Important technical decisions depend on one another.
- You need a route through the work before writing implementation tickets.
Probably not for: Small, already-defined implementation tasks that can be completed directly.
