Build an Opportunity Solution Tree (OST) to structure product discovery
by phurynFree
Description
opportunity-solution-tree is an agent skill that builds an Opportunity Solution Tree, a visual framework for structuring continuous product discovery. It is based on Teresa Torres's method from Continuous Discovery Habits. The tree links a desired outcome at the top to the customer opportunities beneath it, then to possible solutions, and finally to the experiments that will test each solution. Its purpose is to stop a team from jumping straight to solutions, by forcing it to map the opportunity space first. The four levels run from the desired outcome, which should be one clear, measurable metric, down to the experiments. The skill is useful when a team wants a shared picture of its discovery work, when a roadmap has become a list of features, or when it needs to see which opportunities it has not yet explored. You describe the outcome and the opportunities you know about, and the skill helps shape the tree. It is part of the pm-skills collection by phuryn and is listed on skills.sh as free.…
