Implementation readiness validation automates stepwise checks across PRD, Architecture, Epics, and UX to ensure cross-domain alignment and traceability from FRs to stories before coding begins.

Implementation readiness validation is a governance process that detects blocking gaps, enforces epic independence, and checks forward dependencies to prevent rework and misalignment before Phase 4.

Traceability checks surface gaps early by validating that every functional requirement maps correctly to epics and stories, enforcing strict forward-dependency checks and step-by-step documentation.

Run readiness checks when product specs are drafted and cross-domain alignment is needed, ensuring PRD, UX, Architecture, and Epics are complete to prevent misalignment before implementation.

Readiness validation detects blocking gaps and enforces independence of epics with strict forward-dependency checks, ensuring teams align on deliverables before implementation begins.

Automated readiness validation requires complete PRD, Architecture, Epics, and UX specs as input and focuses on governance, meaning it cannot generate missing specs or replace cross-domain team alignment discussions.
