Olivia — JTBD‑2: Detect and Diagnose Issues Quickly
Why are we doing this?
Owner Olivia spends valuable time during incidents jumping between dashboards, logs, and traces to understand what is happening. We lack clarity on whether a correlated view, alerts, or another mechanism best helps her diagnose issues quickly and confidently.
What do we want to learn or validate?
- Does Olivia prefer proactive alerts, a guided incident view, or raw dashboards during incidents?
- What signals matter most in the first 5 minutes of an incident?
- What level of correlation (logs, metrics, traces) is required to build trust?
- Can we reduce tool switching during triage?
Planned discovery activities
- Interview Owner Olivia about incident response workflows
- Review recent incident timelines and decision points
- Run concierge tests with manually prepared incident snapshots
- Validate feasibility of correlating signals with existing data
Expected discovery deliverable
- Discovery Sheet summarizing insights, evidence, and decisions
- Clear recommendation: build, pivot, or continue learning
Definition of Done (Discovery)
