What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured framework to evaluate whether epics are ready for PI planning by scoring them across seven essential dimensions, reducing planning risk and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 7-dimension readiness scoring: Problem statement, acceptance criteria, breakdown & estimation, design, technical approach, dependencies, and rollout strategy are assessed to produce a clear readiness classification.
  • Workflow integration: Designed to be used before PI or quarterly planning, during backlog grooming, or when validating epics for planning commitments.
  • Decision support output: Generates a ready-to-use readiness assessment per epic, with gaps and suggested actions to address them.

Quick Start

Provide a list of epics with their titles and descriptions to obtain a readiness report.
