You need a new opportunity solution tree when circumstances shift and your current tree no longer fits your goals or opportunities. Here are some key moments to consider building a new tree:

• A major change in product goals or business strategy
• New user needs or problems arise that weren’t previously considered
• Significant market or competitor changes that impact your current path
• The original outcome in the tree has been achieved or is no longer relevant
• Exploring a new product area or feature that requires fresh solutions
• The current tree becomes too complex or cluttered to navigate effectively

Creating a new OST ensures your team stays aligned with the latest priorities.
