## WTF is that?
A good [overview on Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgxdYuIt9-o&list=PLSY6GMwjDPv545hT3S4YWvl1NaTgx-A0J). In short - it's a method to *map value and business landscape*, finding ways to "attack" it with products + build the basement products/platforms supporting the next one ~~an empire~~. 

Shorter still ⇒ a way to *reduce the entropy in a planned way*.
### How do I learn it?

The fastest I found is watching the videos here: [Learn Wardley Mapping](https://learnwardleymapping.com/). Here's also a [cheatsheet on every aspect of WMing](https://archive.learnwardleymapping.com/archive/).
## Compilations
A usual [awesome Github compilation](https://github.com/wardley-maps-community/awesome-wardley-maps) containing almost everything possible...

Simon Wardley identified forty universal principles that are basically best practices for companies that wish to be able to adapt to the changing landscape fast. 

More on the Doctrine ~~yeah it sounds a bit arrogant~~: [Doctrine | Wardley Maps](https://www.wardleymaps.com/doctrine) ⇒ [Enhance Your Retrospective With Doctrine | Wardleymaps.com](https://www.wardleymaps.com/retrospective-with-doctrine)

And yeah, there are [some tools](https://doctrine.wardleymaps.com/) to assess your company/team on that.
