Structured feature planning breaks down ambiguous requirements by applying intent discovery to clarify core purpose, evaluating implementation alternatives, and validating scope using YAGNI principles before generating an approvable plan document.

To plan a software feature using the PDCA workflow, you run a brainstorming-enhanced process that asks targeted questions for intent discovery, proposes approaches with trade-offs, and updates the PDCA status in your project memory file upon plan generation.

Yes, you can use YAGNI validation to trim scope during feature brainstorming by performing a multi-select audit on proposed implementation approaches, allowing you to mark out-of-scope items and eliminate unnecessary features before implementation begins.

The best way to document feature plans and update PDCA status is to generate a plan document from a template, save it under the designated project docs directory, create a tracking task, and update the project memory file with the current PDCA status.

Yes, this structured planning approach works for complex software development projects by facilitating one-question-at-a-time interactive prompts to clarify target users and success criteria, making it suitable for vague feature requests like improving authentication.

You need intent discovery before designing a software feature because it uncovers the core problem, target users, and success criteria through targeted interactive prompts, ensuring the final plan addresses the correct problem without unnecessary scope.
