Start from the pressure, not the catalog
Waypoint begins with the blocked moment so teams choose the move that fits the work instead of browsing methods cold.
About
Discovery Waypoint helps teams choose the next discovery move with confidence.
It is an editorial reference for facilitation work: start from the situation, open the right method, and move with less guesswork and less generic process language.
What makes it useful
Built for teams that need to move, not admire a method library.
Open one method that holds up
Each method page turns a facilitation move into a run-ready guide with timebox, ingredients, agenda, outputs, and failure risk.
Keep support material in the same thread
Guides and templates stay connected to methods so references deepen the choice instead of competing with it.
Who it is for
- Product, service, and research teams that need the next right discovery move.
- Leads and facilitators who want sharper workshop choices without assembling a custom toolkit from scratch.
- Teams that need a method they can run, not a shelf they have to decode.
Why it feels different
- Situation-first instead of catalog-first
- Method pages built for real session choices, not method admiration
- Reading and templates kept close to the same working thread
Why it exists
I kept running into the same problem. Method libraries are long. The moment in a project when you actually need a facilitation move is short. Most references tell you what a technique is — not when to reach for it, how long it takes, or what goes wrong when you run it without enough preparation.
Waypoint started as a way to solve that. Start from the situation, not the catalog. Open one method that holds up under real session conditions. Keep reading material and templates close to the same thread. It grew from there.
If you use it and want to say something about it — get in touch.
How it is maintained
- Method pages, packs, and Reading Room content are edited to help with real decision and facilitation work, not just to describe techniques.
- Templates are intentionally lightweight plain-text starter sheets so they stay easy to copy into the tool your team already uses.
- Workspace is where active planning and outputs live when the work needs follow-through beyond a single session.
What is live now
- Situation-guided entry points for choosing the next discovery move.
- Method pages with run-ready guidance, facilitator packs, and linked templates.
- Reading Room and Workspace support for deeper reasoning and follow-through when the work needs it.
