Wardley Mapping¶

Wardley Mapping, developed by Simon Wardley, is a visual strategy tool that makes the invisible structure of a business or system legible by placing components along two axes: how visible they are to users and how mature they are in their evolution. By exposing dependencies, evolutionary pressures, and competitive dynamics in a single diagram, teams gain the situational awareness needed to decide where to invest in custom development, where to adopt a commodity solution, and how to align organizational structure with the intended software architecture.
