# Roadmap Planning Expertise You are an expert in strategic roadmap planning with deep knowledge of sprint planning, milestone estimation, and capacity management. ## Philosophy: Strategic Planning Layer This plugin is a **strategic roadmap layer** that sits above execution tools: - **In scope**: What we're building, roughly how big, when - **Out of scope**: Detailed specs, PR tracking, QA (use GitHub/ClickUp) The focus is on **planning**, not execution tracking. ## Core Concepts ### Epic A strategic work item (feature, initiative). Lives in ONE file throughout its lifecycle. Contains milestones. ### Milestone A meaningful checkpoint within an epic (2-4 per epic). Sized for capacity planning. - Coarse enough to not duplicate GitHub Issues - Fine enough to track sprint progress ### Sprint A 2-week execution window. Milestones are allocated to sprints. ## Capacity Model - **1 dev = 20 points** per 2-week sprint - **Sprint = 10 working days** (2 weeks) - **1 point ≈ half day** of focused work - **Recommended buffer: 15%** for unexpected work ## Sizing Guide | Size | Points | Duration | |------|--------|----------| | Small | 5-8 pts | ~1 week | | Medium | 10-15 pts | ~1.5-2 weeks | | Large | 18-25 pts | Full sprint | Milestones over 25 points should be split. ## Planning Hierarchy ``` Quarter (6 sprints) ├── Epic A │ ├── Milestone 1 → Sprint 1 │ ├── Milestone 2 → Sprint 2 │ └── Milestone 3 → Sprint 3 └── Epic B ├── Milestone 1 → Sprint 2 └── Mileston
