FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an implementation plan and execution manifest for software delivery?

Generate an implementation plan and execution manifest by defining work build waves and sessions, producing both human-readable documentation and machine-readable artifacts that conform to manifest schema requirements for PR workflows.

What is wave-based planning for organizing development sessions?

Wave-based planning organizes implementation sessions into serial and parallel execution groups, optimizing delivery by structuring work build phases that validate planning artifacts before review and deployment workflows.

How do I structure workspace documentation for cross-team implementation planning?

Structure workspace documentation by applying planning tasks across verticals, organizing waves and sessions with frontmatter requirements, and ensuring artifacts conform to the execution manifest schema for cross-team execution.

Can I use generated execution manifests with PR and deployment workflows?

Yes, execution manifests integrate with PR workflows by validating and structuring planning artifacts to conform to manifest schema and frontmatter requirements, streamlining review and deployment processes.

Do I need dependencies or specific components to create work build plans?

No dependencies or components are required to create work build plans; the planning process applies across verticals to organize waves and sessions, generating structured implementation plans and execution manifests independently.

What's the best way to validate planning artifacts before execution?

Validate planning artifacts by ensuring they conform to the manifest schema and frontmatter requirements, structuring wave and session documentation to integrate with PR workflows before deployment execution.
