                    <h2>Overview</h2>
                    <p>User needs mapping, created by Rich Allen, serves as a quick way to start with Wardley Mapping in practice. It puts the users at the center and builds up the technical systems and team structures from there.</p>

                    <h2>Use it when you want to:</h2>
                    <ul>
                        <li>Create a shared picture of your users needs and whether they align to your organizational goals</li>
                        <li>Visualize link between user needs and capabilities, including dependencies</li>
                        <li>Determine whether the current team setup can be improved by optimizing team boundaries</li>
                    </ul>
                    <p>
                        Note that the approach has similarities with <a href="article-architecture-for-flow.html">Architecture for flow</a>.
                    </p>
