speckit-scope-budget

What problem does it solve?

It turns a specification into a sprint-ready schedule by estimating total effort, allocating hours to phases and requirements, and making risks and overhead visible instead of guessed.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phase time budgeting: Breaks the estimated workload into phases with priorities and percent-of-total so teams can sequence delivery.
• Requirement-level allocation: Maps hours to individual requirements and shows dependencies to guide implementation order.
• Risk buffer and overhead honesty: Includes setup, review, documentation, and an explicit buffer to reflect real uncertainty during planning.

Use it when you are doing sprint planning, aligning stakeholders on scope, and deciding what to cut or defer if available time is limited.

Quick Start

Run speckit-scope-budget with your spec in a project that contains the .specify/ directory and provide any available sprint hours or constraints as arguments.
