Can I enforce epic independence and intra-epic sequencing when structuring my backlog?

Yes, you can enforce epic independence and intra-epic sequencing by validating the generated planning artifacts, ensuring that each epic stands alone while maintaining logical story sequencing within each epic.

Do I need separate PRD, Architecture, and UX documents to create epics and stories?

You need PRD, Architecture, and UX documents as inputs for the extraction workflow to produce a complete, testable planning artifact that aligns with business goals and ensures end-to-end traceability.
