SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a significant issue emerges mid-sprint, teams lack a systematic way to assess its impact across the PRD, epics, architecture, and UX artifacts. This Skill guides a structured change-management workflow that produces an actionable Sprint Change Proposal with clear handoff routing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Impact Analysis Checklist: Works through a six-section checklist covering trigger context, epic impact, artifact conflicts, path-forward options, proposal components, and final review. - Structured Change Proposals: Drafts explicit before/after edit proposals for stories, PRD sections, architecture, and UX documents, in incremental or batch review mode. - Scope-Based Handoff: Classifies the change as Minor, Moderate, or Major and routes it to the Developer, Product Owner, or Product Manager/Architect accordingly. - Use Case: A developer discovers a technical limitation that invalidates a planned story. Invoke this Skill to assess the impact on remaining epics, update sprint-status.yaml, and produce a Sprint Change Proposal for PO approval. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to correct course and analyze the impact of the issue you describe on the current sprint plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle a major change request in the middle of a sprint?▼

Invoke the correct course workflow and describe the triggering issue. It loads your PRD, epics, architecture, and UX documents, runs a structured impact checklist, and produces a Sprint Change Proposal with before/after edit proposals and a handoff plan.

What documents are required to run a sprint change analysis?▼

The PRD and current epics/stories are required; the workflow halts if they cannot be found. Architecture, UX specifications, and spec documents are loaded when available, and AGENTS.md project context is read if present.

Can I review each proposed change individually instead of all at once?▼

Yes. The workflow offers two modes: Incremental, where each edit proposal is presented for approve/edit/skip review, and Batch, where all proposals are collected and presented together at the end of the drafting step.

What happens after the Sprint Change Proposal is approved?▼

The change is classified by scope: Minor changes route to the Developer agent for direct implementation, Moderate changes go to Product Owner/Developer for backlog reorganization, and Major changes escalate to Product Manager/Architect for replanning.

When should I not use the correct course workflow?▼

It is designed for significant changes affecting project direction, such as epic re-scoping or MVP review. Small bug fixes or routine story tweaks that do not alter the plan should be handled directly by the developer without this workflow.
