prd-to-backlog-v4

To turn a PRD into a milestoned backlog, provide the PRD path alongside optional screen inventory and decisions log paths. The tool decomposes these documents into vertical-slice stories and automatically creates foundation and story issues on a GitHub project board.

A vertical-slice story is a foundational project management unit that delivers end-to-end functionality. This backlog generation process maps your product requirements and screen inventory directly into these actionable, TI-standard vertical slices.

You generate GitHub issues from a product requirements document by feeding the PRD path into this tool. It resolves project board configuration and automatically creates TI-compliant foundation and story issues organized under planned milestones.

A screen inventory is not strictly required to create a milestoned backlog, but providing it alongside the PRD and a decisions log improves accuracy. These documents work together to fully map project requirements into vertical-slice stories.

The best way to organize GitHub project board stories by milestones is to use a decomposition tool that applies TI standards. It automatically generates milestone markers and structures foundation and story issues under them for streamlined review.

Yes, you can use a decisions log to help define milestones for your project backlog. Supplying the decisions log path with your PRD allows the system to extract architectural constraints and directly map them into planned milestone structures.
