Use this level for introductory content. Foundations content targets people who are new to agile, Scrum, Kanban, DevOps, or the specific topic being discussed. No prior knowledge of the subject is assumed.

Key characteristics:

• Introduces core terminology and concepts clearly.
• Explains the ‘why’ before the ‘how".
• Avoids jargon without explanation.
• Builds mental models rather than drilling into edge cases.
• Appropriate for people in their first exposure to the subject.

Strictly exclude content that assumes familiarity with the topic, discusses nuanced edge cases, or requires prior practical experience to be meaningful.
