writing-plans

An implementation plan converts design documents into executable phases and tasks by extracting scope items, decomposing them into a structured hierarchy, and mapping them to a coverage matrix for traceability.

A coverage matrix maps scope items from a design document to specific phases and tasks, ensuring every requirement is addressed and validated before development begins.

You validate an implementation plan by running a validation script against the generated Markdown plan file, which checks the coverage matrix until all scope items are successfully mapped.

Yes, you can automatically generate an implementation plan by extracting scope IDs and descriptions from a design document, decomposing them into phases and tasks, and saving the result as a Markdown file.

The best way to structure phases and tasks is to decompose scope items from a design document into a hierarchical plan, attaching covers metadata to each task for traceability and validation.

Design documents serve as input for implementation planning, and the generated plan is saved as a Markdown file under a designated plans directory using a date-based naming convention.
