  • Scope management: coordinates updates to docs/live/tracked-work.json and optional docs/records/* when a backlog item progresses.
  • Pre-proposal planning: preserves pre-sprint state and ensures single runnable sprint rule is respected until a decision to promote.

FAQPage Schema
How do I transform vague backlog ideas into reviewable records?

To transform vague backlog ideas into reviewable records, capture problem statements, constraints, and assumptions in a structured file like docs/live/ideas.md. This establishes durable truth before any sprint planning begins.

What is the best way to manage pre-sprint backlog scope?

The best way to manage pre-sprint backlog scope is to coordinate updates to docs/live/tracked-work.json and optional docs/records/* while preserving pre-sprint state. This restricts changes to ideation artifacts until a proposal-ready item is identified.

How do I prepare a single promotion path for tracked backlog items?

You prepare a single promotion path for tracked backlog items by coordinating updates to docs/live/ideas.md and tracked-work.json, enforcing durable truth and preserving pre-sprint state until a proposal-ready item is identified.

When do I need to record durable exploration artifacts for backlog proposals?

You need to record durable exploration artifacts when no runnable sprint is ready and candidate directions are awaiting proposal. This ensures pre-sprint state is preserved and single runnable sprint rules are respected.

Does backlog brainstorming require a runnable sprint to start?

Backlog brainstorming does not require a runnable sprint to start. It is applied specifically when no runnable sprint is ready and candidate directions are awaiting proposal, preserving pre-sprint state until promotion.
