FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right document type for a new project task?▼

Choosing the right document type involves mapping your user request to a Vision, Strategy, Initiative, Task, Backlog Item, or ADR using a decision tree that evaluates work scope and parent-child relationships.

When should I create an ADR instead of a standard backlog item?▼

You should create an ADR instead of a backlog item when the work involves a significant architectural or strategic choice, guided by specific decision criteria that distinguish technical decisions from routine implementation tasks.

What is the difference between an initiative and a backlog item in project planning?▼

An initiative is a broader container for work, while a backlog item is a discrete task. A backlog item becomes an initiative when it requires standalone parentage and encompasses multiple nested child tasks.

How do I determine the correct parent document for a new task?▼

To determine the correct parent document, apply the enforced parentage rules from the decision tree, which checks whether a task belongs under an existing initiative or requires a higher-level strategy or vision document.

Does this document selection framework support organizing existing work?▼

Yes, the document selection framework supports organizing existing work by evaluating current tasks and mapping them to the appropriate document type, ensuring proper parent-child eligibility and structural alignment.
