SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convert agreed scope into a structured, executable plan that the team can actually follow and use to coordinate work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Five operating modes: Full plan, Matter plan only, Workstream plan, Rolling wave, and Plan update from correspondence.
  • Outputs include a formal matter plan, workstream-level plans, milestone and dependency registers, and a structured export for downstream systems; enables versioning and cross-skill handoffs.
  • Integrates with matter-intake-scoping and scope-change-controller to align planning with scope baselines and facilitate updates when scope changes occur.
  • Provides the standard plan fields, task and milestone definitions, and plan maintenance cadence to keep execution aligned with the scope.

Quick Start

Automate converting an agreed scope into a formal matter plan in Mode 1 and generate the accompanying structured export.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert legal matter scope into an executable project plan?▼

To turn matter scope into an executable matter plan, the Skill automates structuring agreed inputs into mandated milestones, dependencies, and workstreams. It generates a formal plan and a structured export for downstream systems.

What is the best way to manage dependencies across multiple legal workstreams?▼

Managing cross-functional workstreams requires a structured matter plan with milestone and dependency registers. The Skill coordinates these multiple workstreams by mapping dependencies and outputs into a structured export for team alignment.

How do I update a legal project plan when scope changes occur?▼

To update a matter plan from scope changes, the Skill applies a dedicated plan update mode triggered by correspondence. It maintains versioning across plan evolution to keep execution aligned with the new scope baseline.

Can I generate rolling-wave updates for ongoing legal project management?▼

Yes, rolling-wave updates for legal project management are supported through a dedicated operating mode. This allows you to progressively detail near-term workstreams while maintaining the overall matter plan timeline as the engagement evolves.

Does legal project planning work without a predefined matter scope baseline?▼

Legal project planning depends on an agreed scope baseline to generate a structured matter plan. The Skill integrates with matter-intake-scoping to ensure the formal plan, milestones, and dependencies align with predefined scope requirements.
