WITH Mantle

One operating arc, from strategy to shipped product, at AI-era tempo.

  1. 1Set directionTrajectory for corporate strategy, North Star for product strategy.
  2. 2Validate, then buildLitmus tests the idea, Spark prototypes it, Lightning Build delivers it.
  3. 3Decide fast throughoutSnap Decision runs alongside every stage.
  • 1995the year Scrum was first presented; SAFe followed in 2011
  • 28%of leaders executing strategy could list three of its priorities
  • 80%of features in the average software product are rarely or never used
HOW THE FRAMEWORKS COMPOSE

Strategy. Validation. Delivery. Decisions.

  • A sequential arc: Trajectory, North Star, Litmus, Spark, Lightning Build
  • Snap Decision runs alongside all of them, continuously
  • Workshop-led, certified, delivered by senior Counsel practitioners and a dedicated Frameworks team
  • Sold à la carte, bundled when the engagement justifies it; new methodologies added as the AI-era operating model evolves
TRAJECTORY

Corporate strategy in days, not quarters.

  • Workshop-led alignment of leadership on corporate direction, with trade-offs surfaced honestly
  • The output is a strategy the leadership team owns and the board understands, not a deck
  • Strategic bets carry quantified hypotheses the rest of the catalog can validate and execute against
NORTH STAR

Product strategy that holds up to scrutiny.

  • Vision, strategic bets, validated hypotheses and a sequenced roadmap
  • Built with product leadership and the executives who fund them, in the same room
  • Roadmap debates shift from opinion to evidence
LITMUS AND SPARK

Validate the idea. Then prototype it in days.

  • Litmus pressure-tests ideas against customer, market and technical evidence before code or budget is committed: go, no-go or iterate
  • Ideas that pass enter prototyping; ideas that fail die cheaply
  • Spark turns a validated idea into a working prototype that can serve as the MVP, through disciplined vibe coding
  • Spark covers the requirements discipline, the design decisions that make a prototype productizable, and the handoff into Lightning Build
LIGHTNING BUILD

Delivery built for now, not for 1995.

  • Methodology, training and certification for teams that use agents and automation as standard delivery infrastructure
  • Rituals, artifacts, roles and cadence matched to what the intelligence layer can deliver
  • Pairs with Forge, which automates the artifact chain Lightning Build runs on
  • Source line: Scrum Guide (Scrum first presented 1995); SAFe V1.0 launched 2011 (SAFe 4.0 Distilled).
SNAP DECISION

Decisions in hours, not weeks.

  • Clarifies who decides what and removes approval theater
  • Builds in pre-mortems and rapid pressure-testing
  • Runs across every other Mantle framework, organization-wide

Run the new tempo across your organization.
