livt - Living Text

Collaborate on board. Make it living in text.

Outcome

Collaborative outcomes evolve alongside the product as living text.

Opportunities

  • Stale Discovery: Discovery-phase artifacts are not persisted after synchronous collaboration sessions
  • Discovery-Development Gap: Persisted discovery artifacts are not leveraged in the development process

Solutions

  • Provide a CLI tool that captures collaborative outcomes as text files (YAML, Markdown)
  • Track consistency across artifacts via ID-based references with automated checks
  • Treat Formulation artifacts (Gherkin scenarios) as generated output, not the source of truth — the master lives in Discovery artifacts

Live Demo

livt dogfoods itself: its own discovery artifacts — stories, story maps, example mappings, and ubiquitous language — are published with livt build as a live demo. It shows exactly what the guides below describe.
