Startup × Catalog

The goal is to obtain a shared inventory of the product and its major dependencies quickly. Relationships may still be hypotheses.

Recorded information

• identifiers of the customer, service, systems, and environment;
• purpose and responsible teams;
• external dependency list;
• information date and source.

“Enabled by” and “depends on” are acceptable catalog debt. They must not support precise impact analysis until connected maturity is reached.
