SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Plan multi-step changes upfront to reduce scope creep and rework across codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define an ordered set of actionable steps (slices) to implement changes.
  • Create a Ripple Map to capture cross-file impact and dependencies.
  • Establish a verification strategy to prove each slice works before proceeding.

Quick Start

Outline the multi-step change in a single plan document before editing any files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan multi-step software changes before coding?

To plan multi-step software changes, outline the entire workflow in a single document before editing files, defining an ordered set of slices to ensure scope clarity and reduce rework.

What is a ripple map for software refactoring?

A ripple map captures cross-file impact and dependencies during multi-step software changes, helping you visualize how modifying one file affects others before you start coding.

When do I need to document slices before coding a feature?

You need to document slices before coding when tackling complex software work like refactors, migrations, or multi-file features where requirements are uncertain and scope creep is a risk.

How do I verify code changes during a multi-file migration?

To verify code changes during a migration, establish a verification strategy that proves each slice works before proceeding to the next step, ensuring correctness across the entire workflow.

What's the best way to reduce scope creep in multi-file features?

The best way to reduce scope creep in multi-file features is to plan changes upfront by documenting ordered slices, a ripple map, and a verification strategy before editing any files.
