FAQPage Schema

How do I define scope and structure for a new software feature?▼

To define scope and structure, you need guided planning conversations that articulate clear scope statements and decide whether the work is a single feature or a larger plan. This alignment prevents stalling and ensures delivery matches ambition.

When should I decide if work is a single feature or a larger plan?▼

You should decide if work is a single feature or a plan at the start of new work or during backlog refinement. Clarifying scope, ambition, and prioritization early prevents planning conversations from stalling or losing track.

How do I generate acceptance criteria during project kickoff?▼

Generate acceptance criteria by inputting your problem description into a planning conversation. The system uses prompts to guide dependency considerations and produce structural decisions, ensuring scope alignment before design begins.

What is the best way to align ambition with delivery in backlog refinement?▼

The best way to align ambition with delivery is through guided planning conversations that flag scope issues and suggest options. This structural approach clarifies prioritization and evaluates whether large features require breakdown.

Do I need human input for scope alignment when using AI planning?▼

Yes, human input is required for scope alignment. The system relies on human guidance to produce accurate scope statements, feature versus plan decisions, and acceptance criteria while navigating dependency considerations.
