Choose a product direction with a real backup.
Guides a team through evaluating candidate approaches to choose a leading approach, a strategically distinct backup, and a decision rationale.
When to use it
Use on Day 2 afternoon of a Foundation Sprint, after Approach Options is signed, with 3–7 candidate approaches and at least one team-specific custom lens prepared.
Give it candidate approach summaries; it guides the team's evaluation and asks the Decider to choose a leading approach, a distinct backup, and a rationale.
What you provide
Requires the preceding Approach Options skill to establish the candidate approach set.
Invokes this skill for the top-bet supervote when scoring is ambiguous, and may also invoke it to define an unprepared custom lens; whether installation is required to complete the workflow is unstated.
