Each epic should have a title and a short (1 sentence) goal statement. This allows the user to review the overall structure before diving into details. CRITICAL: Epics MUST be logically sequential following agile best practices: - Each epic should deliver a significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment of testable functionality - Epic 1 must establish foundational project infrastructure (app setup, Git, CI/CD, core services) unless we are adding new functionality to an existing app, while also delivering an initial piece of functionality, even as simple as a health-check route or display of a simple canary page - remember this when we produce the stories for the first epic! - Each subsequent epic builds upon previous epics' functionality delivering major blocks of functionality that provide tangible value to users or business when deployed - Not every project needs multiple epics, an epic needs to deliver value. For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic. - Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things. - Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories. For example, adding a logging framework as a last story of an epic, or at the end of a project as a final epic or story would be terrible as we would not have logging from the beginning. elicit: true examples: - "Epic 1: Foundation & Core Infrastructure: Establish project setup, authentication, and basic user management" - "Epic 2: Core Business Entities: Create and manage primary domain objects with CRUD operations" - "Epic 3: User Workflows & Interactions: Enable key user journeys and business processes" - "Epic 4: Reporting & Analytics: Provide insights and data visualization for users" - id: epic-details title: Epic {{epic_number}} {{epic_title}} repeatable: true instruction: | After the epic list is approved, present each epic with all its stories and acceptance criteria as a complete review unit.

CRITICAL STORY SEQUENCING REQUIREMENTS: - Stories within each epic MUST be logically sequential - Each story should be a "vertical slice" delivering complete functionality aside from early enabler stories for project foundation - No story should depend on work from a later story or epic - Identify and note any direct prerequisite stories - Focus on "what" and "why" not "how" (leave technical implementation to Architect) yet be precise enough to support a logical sequential order of operations from story to story. - Ensure each story delivers clear user or business value, try to avoid enablers and build them into stories that deliver value. - Size stories for AI agent execution: Each story must be completable by a single AI agent in one focused session without context overflow - Think "junior developer working for 2-4 hours" - stories must be small, focused, and self-contained - If a story seems complex, break it down further as long as it can deliver a vertical slice elicit: true template: "{{epic_goal}}" sections: - id: story title: Story {{epic_number}}.{{story_number}} {{story_title}} repeatable: true template: | As a {{user_type}}, I want {{action}}, so that {{benefit}}. sections: - id: acceptance-criteria title: Acceptance Criteria type: numbered-list item_template: "{{criterion_number}}: {{criteria}}" repeatable: true instruction: | Define clear, comprehensive, and testable acceptance criteria that: - Precisely define what "done" means from a functional perspective - Are unambiguous and serve as basis for verification - Include any critical non-functional requirements from the PRD - Consider local testability for backend/data components - Specify UI/UX requirements and framework adherence where applicable - Avoid cross-cutting concerns that should be in other stories or PRD sections - id: checklist-results title: Checklist Results Report instruction: Before running the checklist and drafting the prompts, offer to output the full updated PRD.

Mark `[x]` for completed/confirmed, `[N/A]` if not applicable, or add notes for discussion points. [[LLM: INITIALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS - CHANGE NAVIGATION Changes during development are inevitable, but how we handle them determines project success or failure. Before proceeding, understand: 1. This checklist is for SIGNIFICANT changes that affect the project direction 2. Minor adjustments within a story don't require this process 3. The goal is to minimize wasted work while adapting to new realities 4. User buy-in is critical - they must understand and approve changes Required context: - The triggering story or issue - Current project state (completed stories, current epic) - Access to PRD, architecture, and other key documents - Understanding of remaining work planned APPROACH: This is an interactive process with the user. Work through each section together, discussing implications and options. The user makes final decisions, but provide expert guidance on technical feasibility and impact. REMEMBER: Changes are opportunities to improve, not failures. Handle them professionally and constructively.]] --- ## 1. Understand the Trigger & Context [[LLM: Start by fully understanding what went wrong and why. Don't jump to solutions yet. Ask probing questions: - What exactly happened that triggered this review? - Is this a one-time issue or symptomatic of a larger problem? - Could this have been anticipated earlier? - What assumptions were incorrect? Be specific and factual, not blame-oriented.]] - [ ] **Identify Triggering Story:** Clearly identify the story (or stories) that revealed the issue. - [ ] **Define the Issue:** Articulate the core problem precisely. - [ ] Is it a technical limitation/dead-end? - [ ] Is it a newly discovered requirement? - [ ] Is it a fundamental misunderstanding of existing requirements? - [ ] Is it a necessary pivot based on feedback or new information? - [ ] Is it a failed/abandoned story needing a new approach? - [ ] **Assess Initial Impact:** Describe the immediate observed consequences (e.g., blocked progress, incorrect functionality, non-viable tech). - [ ] **Gather Evidence:** Note any specific logs, error messages, user feedback, or analysis that supports the issue definition. ## 2. Epic Impact Assessment [[LLM: Changes ripple through the project structure. Systematically evaluate: 1. Can we salvage the current epic with modifications? 2. Do future epics still make sense given this change? 3. Are we creating or eliminating dependencies? 4. Does the epic sequence need reordering? Think about both immediate and downstream effects.]] - [ ] **Analyze Current Epic:** - [ ] Can the current epic containing the trigger story still be completed? - [ ] Does the current epic need modification (story changes, additions, removals)? - [ ] Should the current epic be abandoned or fundamentally redefined? - [ ] **Analyze Future Epics:** - [ ] Review all remaining planned epics. - [ ] Does the issue require changes to planned stories in future epics? - [ ] Does the issue invalidate any future epics? - [ ] Does the issue necessitate the creation of entirely new epics? - [ ] Should the order/priority of future epics be changed? - [ ] **Summarize Epic Impact:** Briefly document the overall effect on the project's epic structure and flow. ## 3. Artifact Conflict & Impact Analysis [[LLM: Documentation drives development in BMad. Check each artifact: 1. Does this change invalidate documented decisions? 2. Are architectural assumptions still valid? 3. Do user flows need rethinking? 4. Are technical constraints different than documented? Be thorough - missed conflicts cause future problems.]] - [ ] **Review PRD:** - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the core goals or requirements stated in the PRD? - [ ] Does the PRD need clarification or updates based on the new understanding? - [ ] **Review Architecture Document:** - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the documented architecture (components, patterns, tech choices)? - [ ] Are specific components/diagrams/sections impacted? - [ ] Does the technology list need updating? - [ ] Do data models or schemas need revision? - [ ] Are external API integrations affected? - [ ] **Review Frontend Spec (if applicable):** - [ ] Does the issue conflict with the FE architecture, component library choice, or UI/UX design? - [ ] Are specific FE components or user flows impacted? - [ ] **Review Other Artifacts (if applicable):** - [ ] Consider impact on deployment scripts, IaC, monitoring setup, etc. - [ ] **Summarize Artifact Impact:** List all artifacts requiring updates and the nature of the changes needed. ## 4. Path Forward Evaluation [[LLM: Present options clearly with pros/cons. For each path: 1. What's the effort required? 2. What work gets thrown away? 3. What risks are we taking? 4. How does this affect timeline? 5. Is this sustainable long-term? Be honest about trade-offs. There's rarely a perfect solution.]] - [ ] **Option 1: Direct Adjustment / Integration:** - [ ] Can the issue be addressed by modifying/adding future stories within the existing plan? - [ ] Define the scope and nature of these adjustments. - [ ] Assess feasibility, effort, and risks of this path. - [ ] **Option 2: Potential Rollback:** - [ ] Would reverting completed stories significantly simplify addressing the issue? - [ ] Identify specific stories/commits to consider for rollback. - [ ] Assess the effort required for rollback. - [ ] Assess the impact of rollback (lost work, data implications). - [ ] Compare the net benefit/cost vs. Direct Adjustment. - [ ] **Option 3: PRD MVP Review & Potential Re-scoping:** - [ ] Is the original PRD MVP still achievable given the issue and constraints? - [ ] Does the MVP scope need reduction (removing features/epics)? - [ ] Do the core MVP goals need modification? - [ ] Are alternative approaches needed to meet the original MVP intent? - [ ] **Extreme Case:** Does the issue necessitate a fundamental replan or potentially a new PRD V2 (to be handled by PM)? - [ ] **Select Recommended Path:** Based on the evaluation, agree on the most viable path forward. ## 5. Sprint Change Proposal Components [[LLM: The proposal must be actionable and clear. Ensure: 1. The issue is explained in plain language 2. Impacts are quantified where possible 3. The recommended path has clear rationale 4. Next steps are specific and assigned 5. Success criteria for the change are defined This proposal guides all subsequent work.]] (Ensure all agreed-upon points from previous sections are captured in the proposal) - [ ] **Identified Issue Summary:** Clear, concise problem statement. - [ ] **Epic Impact Summary:** How epics are affected. - [ ] **Artifact Adjustment Needs:** List of documents to change. - [ ] **Recommended Path Forward:** Chosen solution with rationale. - [ ] **PRD MVP Impact:** Changes to scope/goals (if any). - [ ] **High-Level Action Plan:** Next steps for stories/updates. - [ ] **Agent Handoff Plan:** Identify roles needed (PM, Arch, Design Arch, PO). ## 6. Final Review & Handoff [[LLM: Changes require coordination. Before concluding: 1. Is the user fully aligned with the plan? 2. Do all stakeholders understand the impacts? 3. Are handoffs to other agents clear? 4. Is there a rollback plan if the change fails? 5. How will we validate the change worked? Get explicit approval - implicit agreement causes problems. FINAL REPORT: After completing the checklist, provide a concise summary: - What changed and why - What we're doing about it - Who needs to do what - When we'll know if it worked Keep it action-oriented and forward-looking.]] - [ ] **Review Checklist:** Confirm all relevant items were discussed. - [ ] **Review Sprint Change Proposal:** Ensure it accurately reflects the discussion and decisions. - [ ] **User Approval:** Obtain explicit user approval for the proposal. - [ ] **Confirm Next Steps:** Reiterate the handoff plan and the next actions to be taken by specific agents. --- ==================== END: .bmad-core/checklists/change-checklist.md ==================== ==================== START: .bmad-core/data/technical-preferences.md ==================== # User-Defined Preferred Patterns and Preferences None Listed ==================== END: .bmad-core/data/technical-preferences.md ====================
