SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Propose reviewable backlog scheduling updates by mapping a coherent subset of backlog work into existing or new roadmap phases, cross-checking issue and decision impacts, and using judgment-based human checkpoints before any roadmap file edits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Align backlog items with roadmap phases to enable phased planning and clearer milestones.
  • Cross-check prerequisites, decisions, and issues to ensure alignment before changes are committed.
  • Generate a clear, human-reviewable backlog proposal with explicit checkpoints and approval guidance.

Quick Start

Plan a backlog slice for the next roadmap cycle by selecting items from BACKLOG.md that fit current goals, then propose a phased rollout.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a backlog slice for the next roadmap cycle?▼

To plan a backlog slice, select items from BACKLOG.md that fit current goals and map them into existing or new roadmap phases. This generates a reviewable, phased rollout proposal with explicit human checkpoints before any roadmap file edits.

What is a reviewable backlog proposal and when do I need it?▼

A reviewable backlog proposal is a prioritized subset of work mapped to roadmap phases, cross-checked against DECISIONS.md and ISSUES.md. You need it when backlog items must be evaluated for priority, dependencies, and impact before committing changes.

How do I align backlog prioritization with existing roadmap phases?▼

You align backlog prioritization by mapping work into existing or new roadmap phases, ensuring items fit current goals. The process cross-checks prerequisites and decisions to maintain alignment before any edits to ROADMAP.md or BACKLOG.md are made.

Can I automatically update roadmap files when scheduling backlog work?▼

No, you cannot automatically update roadmap files. The workflow enforces a proposal-first process with explicit human checkpoints, generating an approval guidance document that must be reviewed before any edits to ROADMAP.md, BACKLOG.md, or ISSUES.md.

What files do I need to have before starting backlog scheduling?▼

You need ROADMAP.md, DECISIONS.md, BACKLOG.md, and ISSUES.md files available. The workflow reads these files to inform decisions, cross-check issue impacts, and evaluate dependencies before proposing any roadmap updates.
