Phase 0.5 sub-issue — seventh persona walk under #515 epic.
Persona
department-director — senior government department leader (e.g., Director of Public Works, Deputy Director of Health Services, IT Director for a line agency). Not an architect; depends on EA outputs to make budget and technology decisions. Critical insight: "will only engage with GovEA if the outputs require no training to read and the content is visibly current."
Validation status: Assumed.
Canonical journey
This walk focuses on the power-reader dimensions the prior two viewer walks (#546, #552) didn't exercise: strategic alignment tracking, initiative status, capability-map visualisation, and presentation-readiness.
- Sign in as a Viewer (
victor@govea.dev).
- Open Strategic Objectives (
/objectives) — see the list with status / dates.
- Open an Objective detail — see linked capabilities, initiatives, and their alignment.
- Open Initiatives (
/initiatives) — see what is underway, completed, on hold.
- Open an Initiative detail — see what capabilities and applications it affects.
- Open a Capability map view (
/capabilities/[id]/map) — see relationship visualisation.
- Try to filter content by department / domain — search for "show me only Finance department's portfolio."
- Look for presentation / print export affordances on roadmap, executive summary, traceability views.
- Use Guided Answers to ask department-shaped questions ("what supports permitting?").
Approach
Live browser walk as victor@govea.dev on the parallel preview at port 3001. Reference the Viewer Experience epic (#556) for gaps that already apply to this persona; only file new gaps for things the prior walks didn't surface.
Acceptance
docs/persona-journeys/department-director.md exists with step-by-step outcomes.
- New gaps filed with reproducers; existing gaps in the Viewer Experience epic referenced rather than duplicated.
- Sub-issue closes when the report is written and gap issues filed.
