FAQPage Schema
How do I plan an MVP phase as a vertical slice in my roadmap?

A SPIDR splitting check evaluates if your user story is too large for a single MVP phase. If it is, the skill suggests splitting it into multiple phases to keep scope manageable.

How do I structure a user story for MVP planning?

You structure a user story for MVP planning using the 'As a / I want to / So that' format. The skill prompts you for these components to ensure clear requirements.

When do I need to split a user story during product phase planning?

You need to split a user story during product phase planning when it is too large to fit a single MVP iteration. The SPIDR splitting logic detects this and recommends dividing it into multiple phases.

Does this MVP planning workflow automatically update the roadmap file?

Yes, the MVP planning workflow automatically adds your phase details to the ROADMAP.md file and indicates MVP mode to keep your roadmap management synchronized.

Can I use this for roadmap management without prior user story formatting?

You need basic user story formatting for roadmap management here. The skill handles basic formatting by prompting you, but expects you to provide the core story inputs.
