convergence-outline

A vertical slice outline breaks feature development into testable phases that touch all required layers, including model, service, controller, and view. It specifies files to change, new signatures, and verification checkpoints per phase to ensure clear handoffs.

You need an end-to-end feature outline when planning multi-phase feature development after design approval. It guides teams in aligning on phase boundaries, required changes, and verification steps before implementation begins.

The best way to structure feature phase planning is by enforcing vertical slices that touch all required layers per phase. This structure provides per-phase artifacts including files to change, new type signatures, and verification checkpoints.

Yes, this vertical slice planning approach requires convergence-design approval first. It is intended for multi-phase features after design approval to help teams align on phase boundaries and required changes before implementation.

To verify implementation checkpoints across feature phases, the outline specifies verification steps for each phase. This ensures testable progress and clear handoffs between design, implementation, and verification throughout development.

The artifacts specified per phase in a vertical slice outline include files to change, new type signatures, and verification checkpoints. These artifacts ensure testable progress and clear handoffs between design, implementation, and verification.
