SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Capture forward-looking ideas with trigger conditions that auto-surface when the right milestone arrives, preventing loss of valuable opportunities and aligning roadmap decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured seed planting: capture ideas with metadata including id, title, description, planted date, triggers, and priority.
  • Milestone-triggered germination: seeds surface when milestone/phase conditions are met, enabling triage and decision-making.
  • Lifecycle management: planted → germinating → harvested (todo/phase) or withered, with optional dormant state and review.

Quick Start

Plant a seed by providing an idea with metadata and triggers, then monitor milestones for germination.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture future product ideas and surface them automatically at roadmap milestones?

You capture future ideas by planting them as structured seeds with metadata like triggers and priority. These seeds auto-surface during roadmap planning when the right milestone or phase conditions arrive, preventing loss of valuable opportunities.

What is the seed lifecycle for managing future ideas and feature discovery?

The seed lifecycle manages idea maturity through states: planted, germinating, harvested, and withered. It supports an optional dormant state and a review workflow to align feature discovery and dependency management decisions over time.

Can I trigger idea germination using tags and conditions instead of just milestones?

Yes, idea germination supports multiple triggers including milestones, phases, tags, and conditions. When any specified trigger conditions are met, the seed surfaces for triage and decision-making.

How do I start planning forward-looking ideas with milestone-triggered surfacing?

Plant a seed by providing an idea with metadata including id, title, description, planted date, triggers, and priority. Then monitor your milestones for germination to triage and make roadmap decisions.

What's the best way to manage ideas that mature over time but are not ready for immediate implementation?

Use the seed lifecycle with an optional dormant state. Capture forward-looking ideas as planted seeds and let them remain dormant until dependency or phase triggers arrive, ensuring they only surface when ready for review.
