SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Insert a decimal phase to accommodate urgent work discovered mid-milestone without renumbering the entire roadmap.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decimal phase insertion to preserve logical sequencing when new urgent work arrives.
  • Validation of after-phase references and descriptions to maintain roadmap integrity.
  • Use Case: insert a critical task after phase 72 with description "hotfix for production issue" and retain the original phase order.

Quick Start

Insert a new urgent task after a specified phase number with a short description.

FAQPage Schema
How do I insert a new phase into a project roadmap without renumbering existing milestones?

To insert a new phase without renumbering milestones, use decimal numbering to add the urgent task mid-roadmap. This preserves the original integer phase sequence while accommodating newly discovered work consistently.

What is decimal phase insertion in project management?

Decimal phase insertion is a project management technique that adds urgent tasks mid-milestone using decimal numbers, such as phase 72.5. It maintains logical roadmap sequencing without disrupting the existing integer phase order.

How do I add an urgent hotfix to a sprint roadmap after a specific phase?

You can add an urgent hotfix by inserting a decimal phase after the specified integer phase number. Provide the after-phase reference and a short description to update the roadmap consistently without altering the original phase order.

Can I use decimal numbering to manage urgent tasks across existing milestone phases?

Yes, decimal numbering is designed for managing urgent tasks across milestone phases. It validates after-phase references and descriptions to maintain roadmap integrity during project planning and sprint management updates.

Does inserting decimal phases require renumbering the entire project roadmap?

Inserting decimal phases does not require renumbering the entire project roadmap. The process enforces decimal numbering specifically to preserve the original integer phase order while integrating the new urgent work consistently.

What happens if an after-phase reference is invalid when inserting a decimal phase?

When an after-phase reference is invalid, the decimal phase insertion process validates the reference to maintain roadmap integrity. It ensures the specified phase exists before applying the decimal update to the roadmap.
