FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to promote backlog items to active milestones?

To promote backlog items to active milestones, you can review entries under the 999.x phases and choose to promote, keep, or remove them. The tool then renames promoted directories to the next active phase and updates ROADMAP.md to reflect status changes.

How do I update ROADMAP.md when promoting backlog tasks?

To update ROADMAP.md when promoting backlog tasks, select the promote option for the 999.x entries. The tool automatically moves promoted items to the active section and documents dependencies for accurate milestone tracking.

Can I move associated artifacts like CONTEXT.md when promoting a backlog directory?

Yes, you can move associated artifacts like CONTEXT.md and RESEARCH.md. When you promote a backlog entry, the tool automatically relocates all related artifacts to the newly renamed active phase directory.

What happens to backlog items that are no longer needed during a milestone review?

During a milestone review, outdated backlog items can be removed. The tool presents options to promote, keep, or remove each 999.x entry, ensuring your active roadmap stays clean and focused on relevant tasks.

Does the gsd-tools pipeline commit changes automatically after a backlog review?

Yes, the gsd-tools pipeline commits changes automatically after a backlog review. Once you decide to promote, keep, or remove items, the tool executes directory renaming and ROADMAP.md updates, then provides a concise summary report.
