Using GitHub for Continuous Discovery

Dominant platform for source control and collaboration — used by 100M+ developers, making it the de facto standard for open-source and most commercial software teams. When combined with Continuous Discovery, this makes GitHub a strong candidate for teams who want a structured, repeatable workflow without sacrificing flexibility. Continuous Discovery works best in GitHub when you leverage its roadmapping to implement the framework's key practices directly in the tool your team already lives in.

About Continuous Discovery

Continuous Discovery is a discipline where the product trio (PM, designer, engineer) interviews at least one customer per week, continuously, feeding an Opportunity Solution Tree.

Weekly customer interviews by the product trio — consistency over volume
Insights map to opportunities on the Opportunity Solution Tree
Assumption tests validate solutions before they enter the delivery backlog
The desired outcome anchors all discovery decisions
