FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right project management tool for my project?

Project management tool selection is automated by assessing project context, team size, and required integrations against existing guidelines. The Skill proposes a tool, writes the way-of-working.md section, and logs the decision.

What is the best way to automate project management tool adoption?

Automating project management tool adoption involves evaluating your project against PM guidelines and a resolution cascade of arguments. This Skill handles the assessment and records the choice as a non-architectural decision.

Can I use this to set up GitHub Projects or Jira for my workflow?

Yes, you can evaluate tools like GitHub Projects or Jira for your workflow. After assessing and selecting a tool, the Skill delegates the actual setup process to a dedicated setup-pm skill if available.

Does this project management assessment work with existing workflow files?

Yes, the project management assessment works with existing workflows by reading PM tool guidelines and existing adoption files. It uses a resolution cascade of arguments to ensure the selected tool aligns with your current setup.

How does this process record project management tool decisions?

The process records project management tool decisions by composing a record-decision entry and writing the PM section of your way-of-working.md file, logging it as a non-architectural decision.

What happens if I run the project management tool selection multiple times?

If you run the project management tool selection multiple times, the operation is idempotent. It safely reassesses the guidelines and overwrites the way-of-working.md PM section without duplicating decision records.
