SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

backlog-manager translates high-level PRDs and technical specifications into a structured backlog of atomic, verifiable tasks that can be executed by autonomous agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decompose a PRD/Tech Spec into small, independent tasks with clear acceptance criteria.
  • Prioritize work using MoSCoW and map dependencies to ensure smooth sprint planning.
  • Output the backlog in a machine-friendly format (tasks.md or tasks.json) ready for execution.

Quick Start

Provide a PRD and technical specs and ask for a backlog in tasks.md or tasks.json with atomic, verifiable tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose a PRD into actionable sprint tasks?▼

To decompose a PRD into actionable sprint tasks, you can use backlog-manager to break down high-level product ideas and technical specs into atomic, verifiable tasks with clear acceptance criteria. It outputs a structured backlog file ready for sprint planning.

What is the best way to generate a machine-friendly backlog for autonomous agents?▼

Generating a machine-friendly backlog involves translating technical specifications into independent tasks with defined acceptance criteria. backlog-manager creates this structured output in tasks.md or tasks.json formats, enabling autonomous agents to execute the work directly.

How does backlog refinement map dependencies for sprint planning?▼

Backlog refinement maps dependencies by analyzing high-level product specifications and structuring the work sequence. backlog-manager prioritizes tasks using the MoSCoW method and defines relationships to ensure smooth sprint planning and execution.

Can I output my sprint planning tasks in JSON format?▼

Yes, you can output sprint planning tasks in JSON format. backlog-manager supports generating your decomposed product backlog as a tasks.json file, providing a machine-readable structure for autonomous agent execution and workflow automation.

Do I need technical specifications to break down high-level product ideas?▼

Yes, providing technical specifications alongside your PRD is necessary to effectively break down high-level product ideas. backlog-manager uses these detailed inputs to accurately map dependencies and define atomic, testable tasks for the backlog.

Why decompose a PRD into atomic and testable tasks for project management?▼

Decomposing a PRD into atomic and testable tasks ensures that high-level product ideas become verifiable actions independent of ambiguity. backlog-manager applies this approach to guarantee autonomous agents can successfully execute sprint planning deliverables.
