SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Gate checks are critical to prevent advancing PRDs with missing artifacts, unclear criteria, or unlinked evidence, reducing downstream rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validates mandatory artifacts across PRD gates (v0.1 to v1.0) and ensures cross-reference integrity.
  • Generates structured gate reports (Pass/Block/Conditional Pass) with actionable gaps and owners.
  • Supports evidence traces (CFD, BR, KPI, UJ, TEST) and indicates blockers for rescope or rework.

Quick Start

Run the gate check on the current PRD stage to validate gate criteria and produce a remediation plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate PRD gate criteria before version advancement?

Validate PRD gate criteria by evaluating required artifacts and cross-references to ensure mandatory components and quality checks pass before advancing the product requirements document version. This generates a consolidated gate report with pass or block status.

What is artifact traceability in PRD gate checks?

Artifact traceability in PRD gate checks is the process of verifying that evidence traces like CFD, BR, KPI, UJ, and TEST are properly linked to their corresponding requirements. It ensures audit-ready outputs by confirming all mandatory artifacts have traceable IDs across gates from Spark to Launch.

How do I generate a gate check remediation plan for missing PRD artifacts?

Generate a gate check remediation plan by running a validation check on the current PRD stage to identify missing artifacts and unclear criteria. The system produces a structured gate report with actionable gaps, assigned owners, and recommended actions for rescope or rework.

Can I check evidence traceability across all PRD gates from Spark to Launch?

You can check evidence traceability across all PRD gates from Spark to Launch by validating mandatory artifacts and cross-references at each stage. The scope includes verifying blockers, quality checks, and evidence traces like CFD, BR, KPI, UJ, and TEST with traceable IDs.

What does a consolidated gate report include when validating product requirements?

A consolidated gate report includes pass, block, or conditional pass status, along with actionable gaps, recommended actions, and traceable IDs. It identifies blockers for rescope or rework and assigns owners to ensure audit-ready outputs for PRD progression.

When should I block PRD progression during a gate check?

Block PRD progression during a gate check when required artifacts are missing, quality checks fail, or evidence traceability is unlinked. The gate report will indicate these blockers, preventing downstream rework by requiring rescope or rework before advancing the PRD version.
