Implementation
Phase Goal
Translate validated scope into a reliable MVP through structured execution and tight feedback loops.
PM Workflow Patterns for Agent + LLM Delivery
- Define outcomes first, then slice work into verifiable deliverables.
- Create explicit task contracts: context, constraints, acceptance criteria, and review owner.
- Keep backlog priorities tied to user impact and release goals.
Task Slicing, Handoff Contracts, and Review Cadence
- Task slicing: keep units small enough to implement and validate within one review cycle.
- Handoff contracts: require clear inputs, expected outputs, and failure conditions.
- Review cadence: run daily execution review and weekly scope/risk review.
Execution Sequence
- Implement one end-to-end core workflow.
- Add instrumentation for activation and completion metrics.
- Add resilience for key failure paths.
- Prepare a pilot release for a narrow user segment.
Definition of Done (MVP)
- Core task completion in under three minutes for target users.
- Critical paths covered by implementation-phase quality gates.
- Meaningful telemetry and user feedback loop in place.
- Pilot release feedback translated into a prioritized iteration plan.
Contributor Expansion Areas
- PM operating templates for AI-assisted teams.
- Sprint and release rituals for high-velocity repos.
- Examples of strong implementation task specs.
