gsd-manager

To manage multiple project phases from a single terminal dashboard, use a milestone coordinator that reads your local ROADMAP.md and STATE.md files to display visual progress and dispatch work. This allows you to track what is done, blocked, and next across concurrent workflows.

Yes, you can run planning and execution concurrently without switching windows by dispatching work to background Task agents. This keeps you in your current terminal session while background agents handle the orchestration, allowing inline discussion and iteration.

To start tracking milestone progress using local planning files, you need an active milestone directory containing a ROADMAP.md and a STATE.md file. The dashboard reads these files to present phase status and recommend the optimal next action.

The best way to coordinate work orchestration across a project roadmap is to use a centralized dashboard that reads your milestone state and dispatches tasks to existing GSD commands. It analyzes your roadmap to suggest next steps and visually indicates phase completion and blockers.

Yes, the gsd-manager dependency analysis feature requires the --analyze-deps flag to run. When provided, it optionally runs dependency analysis alongside dispatching work to background agents and coordinating your milestone phases.

You should not use a single terminal dashboard for task planning if your milestone lacks the required ROADMAP.md and STATE.md planning files. The dashboard depends on reading these local files to track phase status and recommend next actions.
