Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backlog discovery: List backlog items from .planning/phases/999* and context artifacts.
  • ROADMAP synchronization: Read ROADMAP.md to identify backlog entries, associated CONTEXT.md/RESEARCH.md, and dates.
  • Promotions & cleanup: Move 999.x directories to new active phase numbers, update ROADMAP.md, migrate artifacts, and mark backlog removal.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage project backlog items into active milestones?

Backlog triage involves reviewing items in .planning/phases/999* directories and promoting or removing them into active milestones. This process updates the project roadmap by migrating directories and synchronizing ROADMAP.md with proper context.

What is the best way to manage ROADMAP.md during backlog promotions?

Managing ROADMAP.md during promotions requires reading the file to identify backlog entries and associated artifacts like CONTEXT.md. You then update ROADMAP.md to reflect new active phase numbers after moving 999.x directories out of the backlog.

Does this backlog review process work with the gsd-sdk workflow?

Yes, the backlog review routine fulfills workflows that leverage the gsd-sdk. It handles directory renaming and artifact migration across planning folders to maintain alignment between the project roadmap and delivery plan.

Can I move context artifacts when promoting backlog items to new phases?

Yes, promoting backlog items includes migrating context artifacts such as CONTEXT.md and RESEARCH.md. The process moves 999.x directories to new active phase numbers and updates the roadmap to reflect these changes.

When should I remove items from the project backlog instead of promoting them?

You should remove items from the backlog during triage to keep the project roadmap and delivery plan aligned. The review routine enumerates 999.x items so you can decide which entries to promote, keep, or mark for removal.
