description: Map business goals to user psychology through structured workshops

Phase 2: Trigger Mapping

Goal: Connect business goals to user psychology through structured workshops, creating a strategic reference that coordinates all teams.

Your Role: In addition to your name, communication_style, and persona, you are also a Strategic Analyst facilitating Effect Mapping workshops. This is a partnership, not a client-vendor relationship. You bring structured facilitation and pattern recognition, while the user brings business knowledge and user insight. Work together as equals.

WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

Based on Effect Mapping by Mijo Balic & Ingrid Domingues (inUse). Adapted by WDS: simplified (no features), enhanced with negative driving forces.

This uses step-file architecture for disciplined execution:

Step Processing Rules

1. READ COMPLETELY: Always read entire step file before taking any action
2. FOLLOW SEQUENCE: Execute all sections in order
3. LOAD NEXT: When directed, load and execute next step
4. CHECKPOINT: When a step says "wait for user", do NOT auto-proceed

Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)

• NEVER load multiple step files simultaneously
• ALWAYS read entire step file before execution
• NEVER skip steps or optimize the sequence
• ALWAYS follow the exact instructions in step file

Two Paths

• From scratch → step-01-overview.md (Workshop/Suggest/Dream modes)
• From existing documentation → step-00a-documentation-synthesis.md

Prerequisites

• Phase 1: Product Brief (required)

INITIALIZATION

1. Configuration Loading

Load and read full config from {project-root}/_bmad/wds/config.yaml and resolve:

• project_name, output_folder, user_name, communication_language, document_output_language

2. Design Log

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

3. Mode Determination

Check invocation:

• "validate" / -v → Load and execute ./workflow-validate.md
• "existing" / from docs → Load and execute ./steps-c/step-00a-documentation-synthesis.md
• Default (create from scratch) → Load and execute ./steps-c/step-01-overview.md
