FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a project backlog with EPICs, Features, and Business Stories?▼

Structure a project backlog by defining a consistent hierarchical WBS using canonical templates for EPICs, Features, and Business Stories. This enforces standard naming conventions and predictable depth rules to ensure clarity and traceability across projects.

What is a Work Breakdown Structure and when do I need it for backlog planning?▼

A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of project deliverables. You need it for backlog planning to apply depth rules, generate organized files under .project/backlog/, and ensure traceability across your EPICs and Business Stories.

How do I generate backlog files and enforce naming conventions for Delivery Lead workflows?▼

Generate backlog files by applying canonical WBS templates to create or extend files in .project/backlog/. This guides Delivery Lead workflows by enforcing standard numbering schemes and content depth for each Business Story and Feature.

What is the best way to ensure traceability and completeness for business stories in a WBS?▼

Ensure traceability and completeness by applying a Story Coverage Checklist to your WBS. Canonical templates specify content depth and standard numbering schemes, making cross-referencing predictable across EPICs, Features, and Business Stories.

Can I extend an existing backlog structure instead of creating a new WBS from scratch?▼

Yes, you can extend an existing backlog structure. The canonical templates apply to backlog planning across projects to generate new files or extend existing ones within .project/backlog/ while maintaining consistent depth and numbering rules.
