SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backlog governance is often manual and error-prone, making it difficult to keep ROADMAP.md up to date and to move backlog entries into active milestones.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify backlog items from the ROADMAP and backlog directories and present them for review.
  • For each backlog item, provide the description, accumulated context (CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md) if present, and creation date, and offer actions to Promote, Keep, or Remove.
  • For items to PROMOTE: rename the directory to the next sequential phase, move accumulated artifacts, update ROADMAP.md to mark it as active, remove the (BACKLOG) marker, and add a Depends on field.
  • For items to REMOVE: delete the backlog phase directory and remove its entry from ROADMAP.md.
  • After changes: commit via qsd-tools and return a summary of actions performed.

Quick Start

Run the backlog review workflow to triage backlog items and promote selected entries to active milestones.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage backlog items and promote them to active milestones?▼

Triage backlog items by reviewing entries from the ROADMAP and backlog directories, then promote selected items to the next active milestone by renaming directories, moving artifacts, and updating ROADMAP.md. Stale entries are removed automatically.

How does backlog governance automation handle ROADMAP.md updates?▼

Backlog governance automation updates ROADMAP.md by removing the BACKLOG marker, adding a Depends on field, and marking the entry as active when promoting backlog items to the next sequential phase.

What is the best way to remove stale backlog items from a project roadmap?▼

Removing stale backlog items involves deleting the specific backlog phase directory and removing its corresponding entry from ROADMAP.md, followed by committing changes to keep project planning clean.

Can I review accumulated context and research before promoting a backlog entry?▼

Yes, you can review accumulated context. The triage process presents the description, creation date, and accumulated context files like CONTEXT.md and RESEARCH.md for each backlog item before promotion.

What happens to accumulated artifacts when moving backlog entries to a milestone?▼

When moving backlog entries to a milestone, accumulated artifacts within the directory are relocated to the next sequential phase directory to ensure context continuity for active development.

Does the backlog review workflow provide a summary of actions performed?▼

Yes, the backlog review workflow provides a final summary of actions performed after committing changes, detailing which items were promoted, kept, or removed during the triage process.
