develop-spike-summary

Featured

Documents the results of a completed technical or design spike, capturing the original question, approach, evidence-backed findings, and a clear proceed-or-not recommendation so the team does not re-litigate the exploration. Use once a time-boxed investigation has concluded. For the architecture decision the spike informs, use develop-adr instead; for research-based exploration, use discover-interview-synthesis.

<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 --> # Spike Summary A spike summary documents the results of a time-boxed exploration - a focused investigation to reduce uncertainty before committing to implementation. Spikes answer specific questions like "Can we integrate with this API?" or "Is this technology viable for our use case?" The summary captures findings so the team can make informed decisions without the spike participants needing to repeat explanations. ## When to Use - After completing a time-boxed technical exploration - When evaluating technology choices or vendor options - After proof-of-concept work that needs to inform team decisions - When investigating feasibility of a proposed solution - Before committing engineering resources to a new approach ## When NOT to Use - You are recording the resulting architecture decision itself -> use `develop-adr`; the spike informs, the ADR decides - The exploration was user research, not technical or design feasibility -> use `discover-interview-synthesis` - You want to propose the solution the spike pointed to -> use `develop-solution-brief` - The spike has not happened yet: this skill documents results; time-box and run the exploration first ## Instructions When asked to document a spike, follow these steps: 1. **State the Question Clearly** Articulate the specific question the spike was designed to answer. Good spike questions are focused and answerable with the time-box avai...
