FAQPage Schema
How do I promote reviewed work items to a tracked status?

To promote reviewed work items to a tracked status, you use a skill that generates technical specifications and initializes development plans. This operates within the Maestro project structure to update lifecycle status while preserving item identity and history.

What is the best way to generate technical specifications from reviewed work items?

Generating technical specifications from reviewed work items is automated through a promotion pipeline that formalizes project requirements. It initiates the design-to-plan workflow to ensure requirements are tracked without duplicate record creation.

Do I need an existing Maestro project configuration to initialize development plans?

Yes, you need existing Maestro project configuration and valid item references to initialize development plans. The promotion pipeline relies on this structure to maintain consistency across work items, specs, and design artifacts.

Can I batch process multiple reviewed work items for development planning?

Yes, you can batch process multiple reviewed work items simultaneously for development planning. The promotion pipeline allows efficient batch processing, automatically sorting the promoted items by priority.

Why does promoting a work item preserve its unique identity and history?

Promoting a work item preserves its unique identity and history to prevent duplicate record creation during the transition. This ensures that formalized project requirements are tracked continuously without manual overhead.
