SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan-ahead governance converts feature ideas into approved, documented implementation plans using multi-council reviews.

Core Features & Use Cases

Council-driven planning: Product Council for strategic alignment, then Feature Council for technical planning, producing a decision record and a scoped task breakdown.
Governance and traceability: Produces a documented decision and links it to implementation work items and roadmaps.
Use case: When a new feature idea emerges, councils refine it into an MVP plan and a reference for engineers to implement.

Quick Start

Describe a feature concept to initiate the planning workflow and trigger Product and Feature Councils for an approved implementation plan.

FAQPage Schema

What is council-driven feature planning and how does it work?▼

Council-driven feature planning is a governance process that converts early-stage concepts into approved implementation plans. It uses a Product Council for strategic alignment and a Feature Council for technical planning to generate a decision record and scoped task breakdown.

How do I create an MVP plan and decision record for a new feature idea?▼

To create an MVP plan and decision record, describe your feature concept to initiate the planning workflow. The councils will refine the idea into a lean MVP plan and produce a documented decision reference for engineers to implement.

Can I use this governance process for architecture and deployment planning, or is it only for product strategy?▼

You can use this governance process for architecture and deployment planning, as well as product strategy. The planning workflow applies to early-stage concepts across product, architecture, and deployment considerations before any development work begins.

What is the best way to enforce scope and governance before starting development work?▼

The best way to enforce governance before development is to require defined scope, council votes, and a lean MVP plan. This multi-council review process ensures traceability by linking documented decisions to implementation work items and roadmaps.

Do I need existing roadmaps or work items to start the feature planning workflow?▼

You do not need existing roadmaps or work items to start feature planning. You only need to describe a feature concept to trigger the Product and Feature Councils, which will then produce the implementation plan and link it to subsequent work items.
