To convert a scope summary into a structured matter plan, feed the agreed scope into the builder to generate sequenced phases, workstreams, milestones, dependencies, and ownership assignments. This produces an explicit, executable plan suitable for team governance.

A matter plan is an explicit, structured breakdown of legal work using phases, workstreams, and phase-gates. You need this structure when running a matter kickoff or setting up governance to sequence tasks, assign ownership, and drive status reporting.

Yes, you can export matter plan milestones and dependencies to a structured CSV file. This structured data export supports downstream systems, cross-skill handoffs, and integration with external task codes for tracking.

To set up task codes and ownership assignments, generate a workstream plan from your scope summary. The resulting plan artifacts define specific ownership for each phase and milestone, ensuring accountability and supporting accurate billing instructions.

Yes, this matter planning approach supports plan versioning and setup decisions. It produces formal plan outputs and a dependency register that directly drive status reporting and governance throughout the matter lifecycle.

The best way to structure dependencies across legal workstreams is to generate a dedicated dependency register alongside your matter plan. This maps relationships between milestones and phases, ensuring sequenced execution and preventing blocked tasks.
