SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill manages the closing of current iterations and the planning of new ones, completing the "plan → execute → review" loop in product development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Iteration Planning: Define scope, estimate work, and create new iterations.
  • Scope Adjustment: Modify iteration scope mid-cycle by adding or removing features.
  • Iteration Health Check: Assess the current state and progress of an iteration.
  • Iteration Closing: Finalize an iteration with a lightweight review and archiving.
  • Use Case: At the start of a new sprint, use /pace-plan next to select features from the backlog, estimate their effort, and formally kick off the sprint.

Quick Start

Use the pace-plan skill to plan the next iteration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a new sprint and estimate feature effort from a backlog?

Sprint planning involves defining iteration scope, estimating feature effort, and tracking progress. You can select features from the backlog and formally kick off the iteration to establish the development cycle goals.

What is the best way to adjust scope mid-cycle during agile development?

Agile scope adjustment allows you to modify iteration scope mid-cycle by adding or removing features. This includes performing impact analysis for scope changes to maintain accurate iteration health metrics.

How do I close a development iteration and complete the plan execute review loop?

Closing a development iteration finalizes the cycle with a lightweight review and archiving. This completes the plan execute review loop by assessing the final state against the original iteration goals.

Can I check iteration health and track progress against sprint goals?

Checking iteration health assesses the current state and progress of an ongoing iteration. It provides health metrics and impact analysis to ensure your development iteration stays aligned with its goals.

Do I need project management software to manage iteration planning?

Iteration planning can be managed directly without external project management software. You can define scope, estimate work, and create new iterations natively to facilitate the full project lifecycle.

Why use a dedicated iteration planning tool instead of generic scope management?

Dedicated iteration planning provides specialized impact analysis for scope changes and specific iteration health metrics. Generic scope management lacks the structured plan execute review loop needed for agile development cycles.
