To turn an implementation plan into an executable task sequence, you need structured orchestration that reads tasks.md and drives phase-based execution. This ensures setup scaffolding, governance artifacts, and validation checkpoints are processed sequentially or in parallel.

Phase-based execution manages parallel tasks and dependencies by respecting task order defined in tasks.md. It validates outcomes at each step and gates progression, ensuring dependent tasks wait for prerequisite completion before executing.

Implementation governance tracks progress and surfaces blockers to stakeholders through continuous progress reporting. It logs task status and completion metrics from tasks.md, providing visibility into execution state and execution blockers.

You need a tasks.md file to start phase-based implementation execution because the orchestrator processes tasks defined within it. This file must contain the structured task sequence, dependencies, and governance requirements needed to drive the project.

The best way to enforce validation checkpoints before code changes is through governance-first orchestration. This approach ensures artifact scaffolding and validation steps are completed and verified at each phase gate before any code modifications proceed.

Task execution stalls when dependencies are not satisfied because the dependency-aware execution control validates prerequisite completion. It prevents downstream tasks from running until prior validation checkpoints and required tasks are fully completed.
