Using the opportunity-solution tree (OST) as a launchpad

While most discovery outputs are useful, the most relevant for the brainstorming exercise to be conducted would be the opportunity-solution tree (OST). Here the problem space is properly presented:

  • The root node of the tree - the goal of the discovery exercise.

  • The leaf nodes - singular problems.

  • Everything in-between - groupings and themes that show interrelationships between the single problems and how they relate to the goal.

Stakeholders can look at this article and do a couple of things:

  • Getting a complete sense of the problem space - a tree shows these interrelationships better than a list / backlog.

  • Decide on which problems are worth tackling and in what order.
