Coverage Mapping

High-Functioning software teams have clear answers to these questions of ownership and involvement. When there isn't clear consensus, that often means that there is opportunity for process improvement, ownership clarification, or the addition of new roles. Pay attention to when you hesitate or struggle to identify who covers each portion of your product. Flag pain-points to help you keep track of where you may need role clarity, better coverage, or new contributors.

By mapping out these responsibilities and measuring team consensus around them, you can identify areas where roles might be unclear or where additional support may be needed. This process helps ensure that every critical aspect of your product development has clear ownership and adequate coverage.
