SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Addresses the absence of structured phase governance by implementing PLAN → REVIEW → EXECUTE → RE-VERIFY across all project stages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a four-phase workflow that requires an execution plan before any action and validates outcomes after execution.
  • Applies governance across all lifecycle phases (00-setup to 08-maintenance) ensuring explicit approvals, traceability, and auditable records.
  • Provides automatic session-start safeguards, plan storage in a standardized path, and integration with lifecycle tracking for ALM traceability.

Quick Start

Create an initial execution plan using the provided template and place it under .claude/local/plans to begin Phase 00-setup.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a structured approval workflow across all project phases?▼

A structured approval workflow is enforced by implementing a PLAN → REVIEW → EXECUTE → RE-VERIFY cycle across all project stages. This requires explicit approvals, traceable plans, and validated outcomes from setup through maintenance.

How does phase governance ensure reproducible and auditable project execution?▼

Phase governance ensures reproducible execution by storing execution plans in a standardized path and enforcing idempotent setup. It links to lifecycle records to provide full ALM traceability and auditable workflow validation.

How do I set up an initial execution plan for lifecycle tracking?▼

To set up an execution plan, create an initial plan using the provided template and place it under the .claude/local/plans directory. This initiates Phase 00-setup and enables automatic session-start safeguards.

Can I apply phase governance to an existing project already in the maintenance stage?▼

Yes, phase governance applies across all lifecycle phases from 00-setup to 08-maintenance. You can integrate it into existing projects to require explicit approvals, establish traceability, and validate outcomes during maintenance.

What is the best way to prevent unvalidated outcomes in project execution?▼

The best way to prevent unvalidated outcomes is using a four-phase workflow that requires an execution plan before any action and mandates re-verification after execution. This guarantees all results are explicitly validated.

Do I need external dependencies to implement traceable execution plans?▼

No external dependencies are required to implement traceable execution plans. The governance workflow operates independently by storing plans in standardized local paths and linking directly to existing lifecycle records.
