SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a significant change hits a project mid-development (a pivot, technical dead-end, missing requirement, or failed story), teams often react ad hoc and miss downstream impacts. This Skill provides a structured framework to analyze the change, assess ripple effects across epics and artifacts, and produce an approved Sprint Change Proposal. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six-Section Assessment Framework: Walks through trigger analysis, epic impact, artifact conflict review, path-forward options, proposal drafting, and final approval. - Artifact Conflict Analysis: Systematically checks PRD, architecture documents, frontend specs, and deployment assets for conflicts caused by the change. - Path Forward Evaluation: Compares direct adjustment, rollback, and MVP re-scoping options with explicit trade-offs. - Use Case: A story fails because a chosen library cannot meet a core requirement. Use this checklist to evaluate whether to adjust future stories, roll back completed work, or re-scope the MVP, then draft a change proposal with clear agent handoffs. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the change navigation checklist for the issue discovered in the current story and produce a sprint change proposal.

FAQPage Schema
How do I assess the impact of a major change during agile development?▼

Work through a structured checklist covering the trigger, epic impact, artifact conflicts, and path-forward options. The framework produces a Sprint Change Proposal summarizing the issue, affected epics and documents, and a recommended path with rationale.

What is a sprint change proposal and what should it include?▼

A sprint change proposal documents an identified issue, its epic impact, required artifact adjustments, the recommended path forward, MVP scope impact, a high-level action plan, and an agent handoff plan assigning roles like PM, architect, and product owner.

When should I use a change impact checklist versus handling adjustments directly?▼

Use the checklist only for significant changes affecting project direction, such as pivots, technical dead-ends, or failed stories. Minor adjustments within a story's scope do not warrant the full assessment process.

How do I decide between rollback and direct adjustment after a failed story?▼

Compare the effort and impact of reverting specific stories or commits against modifying or adding future stories. Evaluate net benefit and cost, including lost work and data implications, before selecting the recommended path.

Which project documents should be reviewed when a requirement changes?▼

Review the PRD for goal conflicts, the architecture document for impacted components, technology lists, and data models, the frontend specification for affected user flows, and deployment or infrastructure artifacts for downstream effects.
