From approved requirements to executable backlog.

Planning agent reads the approved PRD, detects missing info, proposes the backlog breakdown, estimates effort, surfaces dependencies, and locks in the mission plan.

Watch the Planning agent turn one signed-off PRD into a mission plan that waits for the delivery lead.

What planning produces.

Five levels of backlog, from the outcome down to the tasks agents pick up, plus the three views a delivery lead plans with.

  • Epics with measurable outcomes
  • Features tied to epics
  • User stories with acceptance criteria
  • Build tasks scoped to agents
  • Test tasks linked to acceptance criteria
  • Dependency graph across missions
  • Risk register with owners
  • Milestone plan and release groups

PRD to mission plan.

Six steps, in order. The plan only moves on once a delivery lead approves it, in the next section.

  1. Read approved PRD

    Planning agent ingests the signed-off PRD.

  2. Detect gaps

    Surface missing acceptance criteria, NFRs, edge cases.

  3. Propose breakdown

    Epics → features → stories → tasks (build + test).

  4. Estimate effort

    Confidence-weighted estimates using historical velocity.

  5. Identify dependencies

    Cross-team, cross-service, and external dependency map.

  6. Create mission plan

    Final mission plan submitted for delivery-lead approval.

Who approves what.

Approve the plan as each person in turn. Watch the barriers lift and the ledger fill, then change the backlog and see the edit logged.

  1. Product owner approval

    Confirms backlog reflects PRD intent and priorities.

  2. Delivery lead approval

    Approves plan, milestones, and risk acceptance.

  3. Scope change log

    Every backlog edit after approval is ledger-logged.
