What problem does it solve? A prioritized backlog tells you what matters most, but not what ships first, what it proves, or how it ladders to business outcomes. This Skill turns a ranked candidate list into a sequenced roadmap with dependencies mapped, a thin walking-skeleton first slice, engineering-validated capacity, and confidence decay stated on the artifact itself. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Format selection by audience: Choose Now/Next/Later, theme-based, or timeline formats deliberately, recording the rejected option and why. - Mandatory outcome column: Every initiative row carries a measure, baseline, and direction, or a visible blank with a named owner. - Dependency mapping and walking skeleton: Render hard and soft dependencies in ASCII and define a thin end-to-end first slice that proves the whole path. - Capacity gate: Engineering sizes are recorded verbatim or left blank; the model never estimates on engineering's behalf. - Use Case: After a RICE prioritization session ranks seven initiatives, use this Skill to sequence them into a Now/Next/Later roadmap with a dependency map, an open capacity gate, and a strategic narrative for the steering group. ## Quick Start Turn my prioritized backlog into a Now/Next/Later roadmap with dependencies mapped and a walking skeleton first slice.
