[Verse 1]
When projects start with big ideas and dreams so bright
But hidden walls will stop you dead before you reach the light
Time and money, people, tech, politics in play
The ones they don't mention are the ones that break your day
[Chorus]
Two questions cut through all the noise and haze
Map the constraints, test what stakeholders say
Ask what fails, ask what decides the way
From ambiguity to clarity, that's how we navigate
[Verse 2]
Draw your constraint map across the board complete
Time, money, people, technology you'll meet
Regulation, politics, dependencies too
The obvious ones they skip are what will bury you
[Chorus]
Two questions cut through all the noise and haze
Map the constraints, test what stakeholders say
Ask what fails, ask what decides the way
From ambiguity to clarity, that's how we navigate
[Bridge]
Ask three people "What does success look like here?"
Three different answers make the real problem clear
It's not the code, it's not the tech you fear
It's alignment that you need to engineer
[Verse 3]
Don't ask what this system ought to do today
Ask what would make it fail in every way
People know their fears much better than their wants
The inverse question gives you what the future haunts
[Chorus]
Two questions cut through all the noise and haze
Map the constraints, test what stakeholders say
Ask what fails, ask what decides the way
From ambiguity to clarity, that's how we navigate
[Verse 4]
When someone asks for analysis and reports to write
Ask what decision changes based on what you'll find tonight
If no one has an answer then the work's not worth your time
The decision question saves you from that paradigm
[Outro]
Map constraints and test divergence every day
Ask what fails and what decides along the way
From ambiguity to clarity
That's how we find our way
