feature-delivery-loop

Feature delivery is managed by coordinating end-to-end work from discovery to deployment using explicit plan artifacts, Beads-tracked progress, and stage-gating approvals across intake, clarification, planning, execution, and review stages.

Beads tracking monitors execution progress throughout the feature delivery loop. It integrates with issue tracking to ensure development stages remain visible from initial intake through final approval and delivery.

Code review catches bugs and edge cases by applying iterative review and fix loops until none remain. Comprehensive review checkpoints validate quality before stage-gating approvals allow deployment.

Feature delivery requires explicit plan approval before execution. You create a plan artifact, await explicit approval, and then execute approved changes while tracking Beads progress throughout the workflow.

This workflow applies to product teams and engineers planning features, fixes, or PR hardening. It runs the same requirement discovery, clarification, planning, execution, and review stages regardless of work type.

Stage-gating approvals limit feature delivery by requiring explicit plan artifacts and review checkpoints at each stage. Work cannot progress until approval is granted, ensuring quality but potentially slowing rapid iteration.
