code-planning

Software requirements planning involves restating user requests to clarify ambiguities, proposing domain models, and analyzing impact before development. This approach enforces a multi-step workflow to validate work and align stakeholders prior to writing any code.

Domain modeling and impact analysis in software engineering involves proposing domain abstractions, identifying affected modules, and outlining API changes. This process ensures safe, incremental changes by providing a structured plan that validates work before implementation.

Yes, this code planning workflow explicitly targets Java Spring projects to guide requirements restatement, domain modeling, and API design. It enforces a multi-step workflow that returns a concrete TodoList with identified risks and explicit approval steps.

To create a TodoList with approval steps, you restate user requests, generate a prioritized action plan with risk identification, and secure explicit user approval before implementation. This workflow prevents scope creep and ensures stakeholder alignment.

The best way to prevent scope creep is by planning and validating software work before coding to reduce ambiguity. This involves generating a prioritized TodoList, performing impact analysis, and collecting explicit approval before starting implementation.

You should avoid pre-coding requirements analysis workflows when tasks require immediate, trivial changes that do not impact domain models or APIs. Since this process enforces a multi-step workflow with explicit approval, it may introduce unnecessary overhead for minor updates.
