plan-split

To split a master implementation plan, decompose the source document into ordered, self-contained sub-plan files written alongside the original. Each sub-plan includes context and acceptance criteria for independent execution.

Plan splitting in project management decomposes a master plan into phases, stages, or parallel workstreams. It preserves the original master plan steps while producing self-contained sub-plans for reference and execution.

Dependencies and handoffs in plan splitting use blocked_by and blocks metadata headers. This mirroring ensures deterministic sequencing across sub-plans so cross-plan dependencies are clearly identified before execution begins.

You can assign sub-plans to independent teams because the decomposition produces self-contained files with clear context and acceptance criteria. The structured metadata ensures each team understands its workstream dependencies and handoff requirements.

The best way to manage parallel workstreams is decomposing the master plan into self-contained sub-plans. This approach enforces cross-sub-plan dependencies through blocked_by and blocks metadata for deterministic sequencing.
