Solution
Solutions are one of the supported Discovery Space card types.
What is an Solution Card?
Solutions are actions taken to address an Opportunity. This can be launching a new feature, improving an existing feature, improving documentation, and so on.
Popular Terms:
- Solution (Default in Vistaly)
- Bet
- Feature
Statuses
Once solutions have been ideated, use statuses to communicate when and if the team will implment them. Solutions support the following status:
| Stage | Commitment | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Idea | No/Unknown commitment | Initial concept for addressing an Opportunity. No commitment to implementation has been made. |
| Not now | No commitment | Solution evaluated but intentionally deprioritized due to resource constraints, technical limitations, or strategic considerations. |
| Later | Committed (Moderate Confidence) | Planned for a future timeframe beyond the current planning horizon. Recognized as valuable but with lower immediate priority than Now/Next items. |
| Next | Committed | Solution approved with implementation details being finalized. Awaiting resource allocation or developer availability. |
| Now | Committed | Solution actively under development. Implementation work is in progress. |
Note: Using “Later” for Solutions is generally discouraged. The “Later” status is more appropriate for Opportunities (problems) where you’ve committed to solving them but haven’t yet fully defined the problem space or solution approach.
