SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

backlog-manager translates high-level PRDs and technical specifications into a structured backlog of atomic, verifiable tasks that can be executed by autonomous agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decompose a PRD/Tech Spec into small, independent tasks with clear acceptance criteria.
  • Prioritize work using MoSCoW and map dependencies to ensure smooth sprint planning.
  • Output the backlog in a machine-friendly format (tasks.md or tasks.json) ready for execution.

Quick Start

Provide a PRD and technical specs and ask for a backlog in tasks.md or tasks.json with atomic, verifiable tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose a PRD into actionable sprint tasks?

To decompose a PRD into actionable sprint tasks, you can use backlog-manager to break down high-level product ideas and technical specs into atomic, verifiable tasks with clear acceptance criteria. It outputs a structured backlog file ready for sprint planning.

What is the best way to generate a machine-friendly backlog for autonomous agents?

Generating a machine-friendly backlog involves translating technical specifications into independent tasks with defined acceptance criteria. backlog-manager creates this structured output in tasks.md or tasks.json formats, enabling autonomous agents to execute the work directly.

How does backlog refinement map dependencies for sprint planning?

Backlog refinement maps dependencies by analyzing high-level product specifications and structuring the work sequence. backlog-manager prioritizes tasks using the MoSCoW method and defines relationships to ensure smooth sprint planning and execution.

Can I output my sprint planning tasks in JSON format?

Yes, you can output sprint planning tasks in JSON format. backlog-manager supports generating your decomposed product backlog as a tasks.json file, providing a machine-readable structure for autonomous agent execution and workflow automation.

Do I need technical specifications to break down high-level product ideas?

Yes, providing technical specifications alongside your PRD is necessary to effectively break down high-level product ideas. backlog-manager uses these detailed inputs to accurately map dependencies and define atomic, testable tasks for the backlog.

Why decompose a PRD into atomic and testable tasks for project management?

Decomposing a PRD into atomic and testable tasks ensures that high-level product ideas become verifiable actions independent of ambiguity. backlog-manager applies this approach to guarantee autonomous agents can successfully execute sprint planning deliverables.
