Create Wardley Map

Create a Wardley Map to visualize value chains and component evolution for strategic planning.

Workflow

Step 1: Parse Arguments

context (required): The domain to map
focus (optional): Specific area within domain
depth (optional): overview | standard | detailed

Step 2: Research Context

Use MCP servers to understand the domain:

Research current industry landscape for the context
Identify common components and patterns
Understand evolution state of key technologies

Step 3: Spawn Strategy Mapmaker Agent

Invoke the strategy-mapmaker agent with:

Create a Wardley Map for: [context]
Focus area: [focus if provided, or "full scope"]
Detail level: [depth or "standard"]

Requirements:
1. Start with user need identification
2. Build complete value chain
3. Position all components on evolution axis
4. Identify movement and inertia
5. Document strategic observations
6. Provide OWM notation for rendering

Step 4: Validate Output

Ensure the map includes:

Step 5: Return Results

Present the complete Wardley Map with:

Visual representation (Mermaid or ASCII)
OWM notation for online rendering
Component analysis table
Strategic observations
Recommended next steps

Examples

Basic Usage

/wardley-map "e-commerce platform"

Creates a standard-depth Wardley Map for an e-commerce platform.

Focused Map

/wardley-map "CI/CD pipeline" focus="deployment-automation"

Creates a map focused on the deployment automation aspect.

Detailed Analysis

/wardley-map "cloud migration strategy" depth="detailed"

Creates a detailed map with comprehensive component analysis.

Output Format

The command produces:

Map Overview: Purpose, scope, user need
Visual Map: Rendered diagram or OWM notation
Component Table: All components with positions
Strategic Analysis: Opportunities, threats, plays
Next Steps: Actionable recommendations

Related Commands
