  • Scope management: coordinates updates to docs/live/tracked-work.json and optional docs/records/* when a backlog item progresses.
  • Pre-proposal planning: preserves pre-sprint state and ensures single runnable sprint rule is respected until a decision to promote.

FAQPage Schema
How do I transform vague backlog ideas into reviewable records?▼

To transform vague backlog ideas into reviewable records, capture problem statements, constraints, and assumptions in a structured file like docs/live/ideas.md. This establishes durable truth before any sprint planning begins.

What is the best way to manage pre-sprint backlog scope?▼

The best way to manage pre-sprint backlog scope is to coordinate updates to docs/live/tracked-work.json and optional docs/records/* while preserving pre-sprint state. This restricts changes to ideation artifacts until a proposal-ready item is identified.

How do I prepare a single promotion path for tracked backlog items?▼

You prepare a single promotion path for tracked backlog items by coordinating updates to docs/live/ideas.md and tracked-work.json, enforcing durable truth and preserving pre-sprint state until a proposal-ready item is identified.

When do I need to record durable exploration artifacts for backlog proposals?▼

You need to record durable exploration artifacts when no runnable sprint is ready and candidate directions are awaiting proposal. This ensures pre-sprint state is preserved and single runnable sprint rules are respected.

Does backlog brainstorming require a runnable sprint to start?▼

Backlog brainstorming does not require a runnable sprint to start. It is applied specifically when no runnable sprint is ready and candidate directions are awaiting proposal, preserving pre-sprint state until promotion.
