FAQPage Schema

How do I set up project planning documents for a multi-phase development roadmap?▼

To set up project planning for a multi-phase roadmap, initialize a structured planning directory that generates essential files like PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, and ROADMAP.md to establish core value, track features, and outline phases.

What is the best way to structure requirements and milestones for a new software project?▼

The best way to structure requirements and milestones is to create a REQUIREMENTS.md file for tracking must-have and nice-to-have features, paired with a ROADMAP.md that outlines specific phases, goals, and dependencies.

Can I generate a codebase analysis for an existing brownfield project during initialization?▼

Yes, you can generate a codebase analysis for existing brownfield projects during initialization. The setup process creates detailed analysis documents covering architecture, tech stack, and conventions alongside standard planning files.

How do I maintain session continuity and track project state across development phases?▼

To maintain session continuity across development phases, initialize STATE.md and .continue-here.md files during project setup. These state files facilitate project management by enabling seamless resumption of work.

Do I need any specific dependencies to initialize a planning directory for project management?▼

No specific dependencies are required to initialize a planning directory for project management. The setup process operates independently to create project definition, requirements, roadmap, and codebase analysis documents.

What is included in a project definition file for structured project planning?▼

A project definition file for structured project planning includes the project's core value, constraints, and success criteria. This PROJECT.md document ensures clarity, traceability, and efficient execution from the outset.
