Trigger Mapping Phase - Review Findings

Date: December 27, 2025
Reviewer: Saga (via User Request)
Status: ALL ISSUES RESOLVED


Issues Found and Resolved

1. Main Instructions Missing Workshop 5 Reference

File: instructions.md (main trigger mapping orchestrator)
Issue: Step 6 mentions only 5 workshops in intro, but documentation section doesn't reference Workshop 5 (Feature Impact)

FIXED:

  • Updated intro to list 4 core workshops + 1 optional (Feature Impact)
  • Added Step 5.5 as optional Feature Impact workshop call
  • User is asked if they want to run Feature Impact before handover
  • Removed old "Step 6: Documentation" in favor of handover workflow

Impact: Medium - Users don't know Feature Impact workshop exists
Resolution: Complete


2. Inconsistent Workshop Numbering

Issue: Main instructions lists workshops 1-5 but "Documentation" is workflow step 6, while Feature Impact is Workshop 5

FIXED:

  • Clarified structure: 4 core workshops (1-4)
  • Feature Impact is optional Workshop 5
  • Documentation generation moved to handover workflow
  • Clear separation between workshops and documentation

Impact: Low - Confusing but functional
Resolution: Complete


3. Project-Specific Examples in Generic Instructions

Files: Multiple instruction and template files contained WDS-specific examples Issue: Generic workflow should use neutral, reusable examples - not tied to any specific project

FIXED:

  • Removed WDS-specific transformation example ("designers from overwhelmed...")
  • Replaced with generic example ("users from frustrated manual processors...")
  • Changed "adapted by WDS" to "adapted for WDS framework"
  • Changed "Generated by Whiteport Design Studio" to "Generated with Whiteport Design Studio framework"
  • Removed specific example path references
  • Made all handover language role-based ("UX Designer" with agent name in parentheses)
  • Battle Cry remains only in WDS example documentation (where it belongs)

Impact: Low - Instructions are now project-agnostic and reusable
Resolution: Complete - All examples are now generic and framework-focused


4. Feature Impact Not in Main Flow

File: instructions.md (main)
Issue: Feature Impact workshop exists but isn't loaded in main workflow

FIXED:

  • Added Step 5.5 (optional) to main workflow
  • Asks user if they want to run Feature Impact
  • If yes: loads workshop instructions
  • If no: proceeds to handover with note that it can be run later

Impact: High - Feature is hidden
Resolution: Complete


Files: Mermaid diagram instructions
Issue: Uses markdown link to step file, but should just load directly like others

FIXED:

  • Removed markdown link format
  • Changed to BMad v6 format with <workflow> tag
  • Uses <action>Load and execute: format
  • Consistent with other workflows

Impact: Low - Still works but inconsistent with other workflows
Resolution: Complete


6. No Clear Entry Point for Feature Impact

Issue: Feature Impact workshop has no parent that loads it

FIXED:

  • Main instructions now include Step 5.5 (optional)
  • User is explicitly asked if they want to run it
  • Clear entry point before documentation/handover
  • Can also be run standalone if needed

Impact: High - Usability issue
Resolution: Complete


Additional Improvements Made

7. Handover Workflow Integration

Added:

  • Trigger Mapping now ends with handover workflow, not raw documentation
  • Handover calls document generation internally
  • Adds cross-references
  • Performs quality check
  • Creates handover package for Freya
  • Provides activation instructions

Benefit: Clean phase transition with proper context for next agent


8. Incremental UX Handover Pattern

Updated:

  • UX Design handover supports MULTIPLE calls (not one-time)
  • Can hand off per scenario, per page, or per flow segment
  • Enables continuous delivery (design + development in parallel)
  • Tracks deliveries in log file
  • Provides activation for each delivery

Benefit: True agile workflow with small, frequent deliveries

Verification

All changes have been implemented and verified:

  1. Main workflow updated with Feature Impact as optional Step 5.5
  2. Battle Cry generation added to Workshop 4
  3. Mermaid diagram instructions use consistent <action> format
  4. Handover workflow integrated for clean phase transitions
  5. Documentation generation called within handover
  6. UX Design supports incremental handovers
  7. All workflows use BMad v6 micro-instruction pattern

Trigger Mapping Phase is now complete and consistent! 🎉
