task-packet-planning

Splitting a large implementation plan into smaller execution tasks involves breaking the work into worker-sized packets with single goals and limited file surface area. This creates focused chunks that are easy to assign and complete without overwhelming a single session.

Tracking dependencies across multi-step milestones requires marking hard prerequisites, readiness states, and execution waves. This approach clarifies which tasks can start immediately and which must wait for upstream work to finish.

Preparing handoff-ready context for parallel or sequential work requires generating per-packet records with ready states and dependency-driven unlock rules. This ensures each worker receives clear scope and status without needing the full plan history.

You can maintain a status ledger for feature plans by using a packet index and per-packet records. This tracks status, verification notes, review feedback, and closeout history across all milestones throughout the workflow.

You need to break a project into execution waves with dependency tracking when a feature plan covers multiple milestones and requires clear prerequisites. This determines what work can run in parallel versus what must wait for sequential completion.
