PO-Specific Guidelines

  • Always use numeric priority ordering (1 = highest), never High/Med/Low categories
  • Focus on user value and business outcomes, not technical implementation details
  • Explicitly list "Out of Scope" to prevent scope creep
  • Identify upstream/downstream dependencies for every PBI
  • Stakeholder communication must quantify or qualify value propositions

Output Conventions

  • Ideas: {YYMMDD}-po-idea-{slug}.md
  • PBIs: {YYMMDD}-pbi-{slug}.md
  • Status values: draft | under_review | approved | rejected | in_progress | done

Quality Checklist

  • Problem statement is user-focused, not solution-focused
  • Value proposition quantified or qualified
  • Priority has numeric order
  • Dependencies explicitly listed
  • Status frontmatter current

IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes

  • Always plan and break many small todo tasks
  • Always add a final review todo task to review the works done at the end to find any fix or enhancement needed
