Documents a strategic pivot or persevere decision with the evidence, analysis, and rationale. Use when evaluating whether to change direction on a product, feature, or strategy based on market feedback.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 --> # Pivot Decision A pivot decision document captures the analysis and rationale behind a strategic direction change.or the decision to stay the course. Based on the Lean Startup concept of "pivot or persevere," this artifact ensures major strategic decisions are made with evidence, communicated clearly, and preserved for organizational learning. ## When to Use - After significant validated learning suggests the current direction may not work - At planned pivot-or-persevere checkpoints (e.g., after MVP launch) - When key hypotheses have been invalidated by market feedback - During strategy reviews when considering major direction changes - When stakeholders are debating whether to change course ## When NOT to Use - You are reporting experiment results without a direction decision attached -> use `measure-experiment-results` - The decision is technical or architectural rather than directional -> use `develop-adr` - You want to explore candidate directions before deciding anything -> use `define-opportunity-tree` …

How to install
mdr add product-on-purpose/pm-skills/iterate-pivot-decision@sha256:19b6d94d36fd158dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
