Project Planning

Overview

Orchestrate the creation of complete planning hierarchy from business requirements.

Announce at start: "I'm using the project-planning skill to generate the planning hierarchy."

Documents Generated

Document	Skill Used	Purpose
`ROADMAP.md`	roadmap-planning	Milestones and timeline
`USER_STORIES.md`	story-planning	User needs and stories
`BACKLOG.md`	(generated)	Prioritized feature list
`epics/E*/INDEX.md`	epic-planning	Epic overview and tasks
`epics/E/00-todo/TASK_.md`	task-planning	Task skeletons

The Process

digraph planning_flow {
    "Start" [shape=doublecircle];
    "Gather Requirements" [shape=box];
    "Create ROADMAP" [shape=box];
    "Create USER_STORIES" [shape=box];
    "Create BACKLOG" [shape=box];
    "Create Epics" [shape=box];
    "Create Tasks" [shape=box];
    "Summary" [shape=doublecircle];

    "Start" -> "Gather Requirements";
    "Gather Requirements" -> "Create ROADMAP";
    "Create ROADMAP" -> "Create USER_STORIES";
    "Create USER_STORIES" -> "Create BACKLOG";
    "Create BACKLOG" -> "Create Epics";
    "Create Epics" -> "Create Tasks";
    "Create Tasks" -> "Summary";
}

Phase 1: Gather Requirements

From previous documentation:

MVP_DEFINITION.md (features)
TARGET_PERSONAS.md (users)
PROJECT_CHARTER.md (timeline, objectives)
PRODUCT_VISION.md (goals)

If not available, ask user for:

Key features (5-10)
Timeline constraints
Priority features for first release

Phase 2: Create ROADMAP

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use orbty-eazy:roadmap-planning

Input:

Project timeline
Major milestones
Feature priorities

Output: docs/planning/ROADMAP.md

Phase 3: Create USER_STORIES

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use orbty-eazy:story-planning

Input:

Target personas
MVP features
User goals

Output: docs/planning/USER_STORIES.md

Phase 4: Create BACKLOG

Generate prioritized backlog from user stories:

# Backlog: {Project Name}

## Priority Levels
- **P0**: Must have for MVP
- **P1**: Should have
- **P2**: Nice to have
- **P3**: Future consideration

## Backlog Items

| ID | Feature | Priority | Epic | Status |
|----|---------|----------|------|--------|
| F01 | {Feature} | P0 | E01 | Planned |
| F02 | {Feature} | P0 | E01 | Planned |
| F03 | {Feature} | P1 | E02 | Planned |

---
_Last Updated: {YYYY-MM-DD}_

Output: docs/planning/BACKLOG.md

Phase 5: Create Epics

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use orbty-eazy:epic-planning

For each logical grouping of features:

Create epic with INDEX.md
Create folder structure (00-todo, 01-doing, 02-done)
Map user stories to tasks

Output: docs/planning/epics/E{NN}-{name}/INDEX.md

Phase 6: Create Tasks

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use orbty-eazy:task-planning

For each epic, create task skeletons:

One TASK.md per discrete work item
Include metadata, objective, acceptance criteria
Leave Implementation Steps empty (added by writing-plans)

Output: docs/planning/epics/E{NN}-{name}/00-todo/TASK_*.md

Summary Output

After completion:

## Planning Complete

### Documents Created
- ROADMAP.md (3 milestones)
- USER_STORIES.md (12 stories)
- BACKLOG.md (15 features)
- 2 Epics with 8 tasks

### Epic Overview
| Epic | Tasks | Priority |
|------|-------|----------|
| E01-foundation | 5 | P0 |
| E02-feature | 3 | P1 |

### Next Steps
1. Review and refine generated documents
2. Pick a task from E01/00-todo/
3. Use `orbty-eazy:writing-plans` to enrich with TDD steps
4. Use `orbty-eazy:executing-plans` to implement

Remember

Trace every task to a user story
Keep first epic focused on foundation
Prioritize ruthlessly (P0 is MVP only)
Create realistic, achievable tasks
Each task should be completable in 2-8 hours
