# User and Operator Experience Requirements Canonical page: https://apiopscycles.com/resources/user-operator-experience-requirements Language: en Entity ID: userOperatorExperienceRequirementsCanvas A cycle-specific view of experience, operational, and non-functional requirements for automation users, operators, approvers, and support teams. Category: canvas ## Outcomes - User and operator expectations clarified - Availability, timeliness, permissions, support, recovery, observability, and activation needs captured - Constraints ready for later architecture, workflow, and capacity decisions ## How to use 1. Capture user, operator, approver, and support goals for the target process. 2. Clarify availability, timeliness, volume, data quality, permissions, activation, changes, support, observability, recovery, and continuity expectations. 3. Translate the expectations into constraints for later automation design without choosing the implementation mechanism. ## Canvas guidance What experience, operational, and non-functional requirements must the solution satisfy for users, operators, consumers, approvers, and support teams? Capture what people and consuming systems require from the capability or automation. Keep this focused on requirements and constraints; quantify capacity and choose implementation mechanisms in later architecture work.
