Scope Improvement

Goal: Turn an improvement target into a concrete scenario — one focused change with clear before/after.


INITIALIZATION

Design Log

Read {output_folder}/_progress/00-design-log.md. Check Current and Backlog for context.

Steps

Step 1: Load Analysis

Read the analysis from [A] Analyze Product:

  • Product snapshot
  • Selected improvement target
  • Context and rationale

Step 2: Define the Change

Scope the improvement as a mini-scenario:

  1. Which view/page needs changing? (Be specific — one page, one flow section)
  2. Current state — What does the user see today? What's wrong?
  3. Desired state — What should the user experience after the change?
  4. Success criteria — How do we know it worked? (measurable if possible)

Step 3: Map the User Journey

For the selected view, map the micro-journey:

  1. Entry point — How does the user arrive at this view?
  2. Current flow — What happens step by step today?
  3. Pain points — Where exactly does the experience break down?
  4. Proposed flow — What should happen step by step after the change?

Step 4: Estimate Scope

Assess the change:

  • Pages affected: List specific pages/views
  • Components touched: Which UI elements change?
  • Data changes: Any API or data model changes?
  • Risk level: Low (visual only) / Medium (behavior change) / High (structural change)

Step 5: Write Scenario

Create a scenario document at {output_folder}/evolution/scenarios/:

# [Scenario Name]

## Target
[What we're improving and why]

## Current State
[What users experience today]

## Desired State
[What users should experience after]

## User Journey
[Step-by-step flow]

## Success Criteria
[How we measure success]

## Scope
[Pages, components, risk level]

Present for user approval.
