SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyze a feature or sprint for scope creep by comparing current scope against the original plan. Flags additions, quantifies bloat, and recommends cuts. Use when user says 'any scope creep', 'scope review', 'are we staying in scope'.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Find the original baseline scope for a given feature, sprint, or milestone.
  • Compare against the current implementation to surface additions and removals.
  • Generate a structured scope-check report with a clear verdict and actionable next steps.

Quick Start

Run /scope-check [feature-name or sprint-N] to generate a scope-check report and review recommended cuts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check for scope creep in a sprint?

To check for scope creep in a sprint, compare current implementation against the original plan to flag additions, quantify bloat, and recommend cuts. This identifies unauthorized changes by analyzing codebase artifacts and producing a structured report.

What is the best way to review project scope and identify bloat?

The best way to review project scope is to find the original baseline for a feature or milestone and compare it against the current implementation. This surfaces additions and removals, generating a structured scope-check report with actionable next steps.

How do I quantify additions when analyzing a project plan?

You can quantify additions by comparing current scope against the original project plan for a given feature. This analysis estimates effort, flags scope creep, and produces a structured report requiring explicit approval before saving.

Does scope creep analysis require explicit approval before saving results?

Yes, scope creep analysis requires explicit user approval before saving any results. The process ensures changes are auditable by comparing codebase artifacts against the baseline and flagging additions for review.

Can I use scope review for risk analysis and governance?

Yes, you can use scope review for risk analysis and project governance by quantifying bloat and recommending cuts. It compares current scope against the original plan to ensure changes are auditable and require explicit approval.

When do I need a scope-check report for project management?

You need a scope-check report for project management when you suspect scope creep during a sprint or feature implementation. It flags additions, estimates effort, and recommends cuts by comparing current scope against the original baseline.
