To enforce architecture conformance during software implementation, the system coordinates end-to-end development by ensuring production code strictly follows the approved architecture and CLAUDE.md conventions. Deviations are escalated to the technical lead.

Backlog-driven phase orchestration coordinates development transitions across PM, TL, Dev, and QA roles. It integrates with backlog tooling to query stories and move them through planning, implementation, and documentation phases.

To manage phase gates and approvals in a development workflow, the system requires explicit approvals and passing tests before allowing phase progression. This ensures traceability and manages implementation risks from plan to delivery.

Yes, this development approach requires existing CLAUDE.md and ARCHITECTURE.md files. The system uses these files to enforce architecture adherence, track backlog status transitions, and validate phase gate conditions during implementation.

The best way to transition backlog stories through implementation phases is using a coordinated phase gate system. It enforces architecture adherence, requires approvals and tests before progression, and manages implementation risks for end-to-end delivery.

Code implementation requires phase gate enforcement to prevent unapproved architectural changes and ensure quality. By requiring tests and approvals before progression, it maintains code quality and provides traceability from planning to delivery.
