What is the best way to scope requirements for a new feature release in a brownfield project?

The best way to scope requirements for a brownfield feature release is through questioning and optional research. This Skill clarifies scope, validates context, and produces scoped requirements that continue numbering from your existing roadmap phases.

How do milestone planning workflows handle phase numbering continuation?

Milestone planning workflows handle phase numbering continuation by reading existing ROADMAP.md history. This Skill validates prior state and ensures new requirements and roadmap artifacts logically continue phase numbering from your last completed milestone.

Do I need approval gates to reset the planning state for a project iteration?

Yes, approval gates are required to reset the planning state for a project iteration. This Skill includes validation, questioning, and approval checkpoints before routing the workflow to update requirements and roadmap artifacts.

How does milestone planning integrate with existing requirements and roadmap artifacts?

Milestone planning integrates with existing artifacts by updating REQUIREMENTS.md and ROADMAP.md directly. After gathering context and approval, the workflow routes to produce scoped requirements and phased roadmaps that align with your project history.

Can I perform research for new features before updating the project roadmap?

Yes, you can perform optional research for new features before updating the roadmap. This Skill gathers context, performs research if needed, and clarifies scope during the questioning phase before generating final requirements and roadmap artifacts.
