FAQPage Schema

How do I synchronize my PRD backlog with current development progress?▼

To synchronize your PRD backlog with current development progress, you can automate the creation and updating of a backlog.json file. This ensures task statuses and acceptance criteria remain aligned with actual progress markers.

What is backlog.json used for in PRD workflows?▼

In PRD workflows, backlog.json is used to track item and step statuses alongside acceptance criteria. It acts as a structured data source for maintaining consistent task visibility and data integrity during development.

How do I automatically generate a backlog JSON file from PRD data?▼

You can automatically generate a backlog JSON file by invoking a backlog automation skill against your current PRD data. This process creates or refreshes the backlog.json file while preserving existing status markers and progress data.

Does backlog.json synchronization work for tracking acceptance criteria?▼

Yes, backlog.json synchronization works for tracking acceptance criteria by keeping task and step statuses aligned with the latest PRD updates. This avoids manual errors and ensures accurate tracking of task completion.

Why does my PRD backlog lose task status when I update requirements?▼

Your PRD backlog loses task status during requirement updates if the process lacks automated status preservation. Using a dedicated backlog synchronization method ensures progress markers and historical statuses are retained during file regeneration.
