Alignment Dimensions

Analysis Framework

1. Business Goals Mapping

business_goals:
  - id: BG-001
    name: 'Increase user retention'
    kpi: '30-day retention rate'
    target: '>= 60%'
    features:
      - F-001: User onboarding
      - F-002: Notification system

  - id: BG-002
    name: 'Reduce operational costs'
    kpi: 'Cost per transaction'
    target: '<= $0.05'
    features:
      - F-003: Payment optimization
      - F-004: Auto-scaling

2. Feature-Goal Traceability

## Traceability Matrix

| Feature | Goal   | Requirement | User Story | Test       | Status     |
| ------- | ------ | ----------- | ---------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| F-001   | BG-001 | REQ-001     | US-001     | T-001      | ✅ Aligned |
| F-002   | BG-001 | REQ-002     | US-002     | T-002      | ⚠️ Partial |
| F-003   | BG-002 | REQ-003     | US-003     | T-003      | ✅ Aligned |
| F-004   | BG-002 | ❌ Missing  | ❌ Missing | ❌ Missing | 🔴 Gap     |

3. Implementation Coverage

## Coverage Analysis

| Category     | Total | Implemented | Tested   | Deployed |
| ------------ | ----- | ----------- | -------- | -------- |
| Requirements | 24    | 22 (92%)    | 20 (83%) | 18 (75%) |
| User Stories | 45    | 40 (89%)    | 38 (84%) | 35 (78%) |
| Features     | 12    | 10 (83%)    | 9 (75%)  | 8 (67%)  |

4. Drift Detection

drift_checks:
  requirement_drift:
    - description: 'Requirement changed after implementation'
    - severity: HIGH
    - check: Compare spec timestamps vs code timestamps

  scope_creep:
    - description: 'Features added without requirements'
    - severity: MEDIUM
    - check: Count features without linked requirements

  dead_code:
    - description: 'Code without corresponding requirements'
    - severity: LOW
    - check: Identify orphaned implementations

Alignment Metrics

Strategic Alignment Score

Score = Σ(Feature_Impact × Goal_Weight) / Σ(Goal_Weight)

Where:
- Feature_Impact: 0-1 (how well feature serves goal)
- Goal_Weight: 1-5 (importance of goal)

Functional Alignment Score

Score = (Implemented_Requirements / Total_Requirements) ×
        (Requirements_With_Tests / Implemented_Requirements)

Technical Alignment Score

Score = Architecture_Compliance × Code_Quality × Test_Coverage

Where each factor is 0-1

Gap Analysis

Gap Types

Gap Resolution Workflow

1. Identify Gap
2. Assess Impact (Business + Technical)
3. Determine Root Cause
4. Propose Resolution
5. Prioritize (Impact / Effort)
6. Track Resolution

Output Format

# 📊 Business-Technical Alignment Report

**Project**: [project-name]
**Analyzed**: [timestamp]

## Executive Summary

**Overall Alignment Score**: [X]%

| Dimension   | Score | Status   |
| ----------- | ----- | -------- |
| Strategic   | [X]%  | ✅/⚠️/🔴 |
| Functional  | [X]%  | ✅/⚠️/🔴 |
| Technical   | [X]%  | ✅/⚠️/🔴 |
| Operational | [X]%  | ✅/⚠️/🔴 |

## Business Goals Coverage

| Goal              | KPI Target | Features | Status |
| ----------------- | ---------- | -------- | ------ |
| BG-001: Retention | ≥60%       | 2 of 2   | ✅     |
| BG-002: Cost      | ≤$0.05     | 1 of 2   | ⚠️     |

## Alignment Gaps

### Critical Gaps (🔴)

1. **Auto-scaling not implemented**
   - Goal: BG-002 (Cost reduction)
   - Impact: Cannot meet cost target at scale
   - Resolution: Implement F-004
   - Priority: P1

### Warning Gaps (⚠️)

2. **Notification system partial**
   - Goal: BG-001 (Retention)
   - Impact: Limited engagement capability
   - Resolution: Complete F-002 features
   - Priority: P2

## Drift Detection

| Type              | Count | Severity |
| ----------------- | ----- | -------- |
| Requirement Drift | 2     | 🟡       |
| Scope Creep       | 1     | 🟢       |
| Dead Code         | 3     | 🟢       |

## Recommendations

1. **Immediate**: Complete auto-scaling (F-004)
2. **Short-term**: Finish notification features (F-002)
3. **Long-term**: Establish alignment review cadence

## Next Steps

1. Review gaps with stakeholders
2. Update product backlog
3. Re-assess in 2 weeks
