Upstream traceability: docs/roadmap-project-management.md (milestones, themes, Product Versona alignment).


1a. Sparks and Charge (discipline)

Rule: Any story that is in progress or committed for the current increment must have Spark-level tasks (M*E*S*T*) in the Tasks table below, with discover: / specify: / build: / verify: / release: phase prefixes where applicable. Backlog stories may omit Sparks until execution starts.

Charge: When using Forge execution, list Active Sparks in forge/charge.md with Spark IDs matching this WBS so /plan, Today, and forge/charge.md stay aligned.


1b. Product Versona checkpoints

Before baselining or re-scoping epics under M2–M4, run a Product family session using the blueprint skill run-product-versona-session: prefer versona-family-product or versona-product-management. Follow §5 structured output in VERSONA-CONTRACT.md.

Stories requiring §5 before commitment:

Story ID When
M2E1S1 Before locking delivery KPI definitions
M3E1S1 Before locking risk-register design
M4E1S1 Before locking export scope

Acceptance: Product Versona session completed; §5 recommendation recorded in forge-logs/versona/<actor>/<session-id>/ or linked from the story notes. Optional: use forge/README.template.md team workflow.


2. Themes

Theme ID Theme Strategic objective
T1 M1 — PM narrative and IA fit Governance PM story is documented; Enterprise IA claims match shipped routes
T2 M2 — Monitoring and portfolio signals Delivery health beyond git/LoC; portfolio attention backed by spec or API
T3 M3 — Control plane (aspirational) Risk and baseline/scope decisions documented before build
T4 M4 — Reporting and integrations (aspirational) Sponsor-ready export spike; integration policy

3. WBS hierarchy

Theme: T1 — M1 (PM narrative and IA fit)

Epic: M1E1 — Governance docs

Story ID Story Acceptance criteria (summary) Priority Estimate Dependencies
M1E1S1 Roadmap + handbook roadmap-project-management.md exists; python3 generator/build-lenses-docs.py produces lenses-docs/roadmap-project-management.html; linked from docs/index.md High S
M1E1S2 Cross-links valid Roadmap links to dashboard-pages, interface-pages, studio-flow-shell-mvp-scope resolve from docs/ Medium S M1E1S1

Epic: M1E2 — IA honesty

Story ID Story Acceptance criteria (summary) Priority Estimate Dependencies
M1E2S1 Enterprise gap list Gap list: Portfolio, Programs, Risk targets in interface-pages vs routes today; recorded in roadmap Notes or short ADR under docs/ High M M1E1S2
M1E2S2 Studio MVP scope clarity studio-flow-shell-mvp-scope.md deferred items are not claimed as shipped in interface docs Medium S

Epic: M1E3 — Plan lens

Story ID Story Acceptance criteria (summary) Priority Estimate Dependencies
M1E3S1 WBS in Lenses This file appears on /wbs and loads in /plan with repo + wbs_p (e.g. docs/requirements/WBS.md under forge-lenses child) High S
M1E3S2 Charge optional (Optional) forge/charge.md Active Sparks use IDs matching Sparks below Low S M1E3S1

Theme: T2 — M2 (Monitoring and portfolio signals)

Epic: M2E1 — Delivery KPIs

Story ID Story Acceptance criteria (summary) Priority Estimate Dependencies
M2E1S1 Metric definitions Written definitions (e.g. slip, spark throughput, blocked rollup) aligned to roadmap Monitoring theme; Product Versona §5 before baseline High M M1 complete or explicit overlap
M2E1S2 Data-source design Design note: fields from WBS vs Charge vs git vs new API High M M2E1S1

Epic: M2E2 — Portfolio / attention

Story ID Story Acceptance criteria (summary) Priority Estimate Dependencies
M2E2S1 Attention / portfolio spec Spec or tracked issue for workspace attention stream / portfolio strip (shell + data) High M M2E1S2

Epic: M2E3 — KPI history

Story ID Story Acceptance criteria (summary) Priority Estimate Dependencies
M2E3S1 KPI history extension Proposal to extend kpi_history.py (or successor) for delivery-relevant snapshots Medium S M2E1S1

Theme: T3 — M3 (Control plane — aspirational)

Epic: M3E1 — Risk

Story ID Story Acceptance criteria (summary) Priority Estimate Dependencies
M3E1S1 Risk model design Design: risk register vs blockers-only; storage (files vs .lenses-local vs DB); Product Versona §5 before baseline Medium M M2 exit agreed

Epic: M3E2 — Baseline / scope

Story ID Story Acceptance criteria (summary) Priority Estimate Dependencies
M3E2S1 Baseline decision Decision record: baseline vs current schedule/scope; explicit out-of-scope allowed Medium M M3E1S1

Theme: T4 — M4 (Reporting and integrations — aspirational)

Epic: M4E1 — Reporting

Story ID Story Acceptance criteria (summary) Priority Estimate Dependencies
M4E1S1 Export spike Spike: Markdown/HTML export path for sponsor summary from workspace + plan; Product Versona §5 for scope Medium M M3 optional

Epic: M4E2 — Integrations

Story ID Story Acceptance criteria (summary) Priority Estimate Dependencies
M4E2S1 Integration policy Policy doc: external SoR sync, privacy, tier gating Low S M4E1S1 optional

3a. Tasks (Sparks)

Add rows when stories move to in progress. Examples for near-term M1 work:

Task ID Task Story Phase prefix Estimate (hrs)
M1E2S1T1 Audit interface-pages Enterprise targets vs /studio/, /plan, / routes M1E2S1 discover: 2
M1E3S1T1 Verify /wbs lists this file; open /plan?repo=forge-lenses&wbs_p=docs/requirements/WBS.md M1E3S1 verify: 1

When M2E1S1 starts, add Sparks such as M2E1S1T1 (draft metric list), M2E1S1T2 (Product Versona session + §5 capture).


4. Estimation summary

Level Count
Themes 4
Epics 10
Stories 14
Tasks (Sparks) 2+ (expand as work starts)

Estimation approach: S ≈ under half a day, M ≈ about one day for a single maintainer.


5. Dependencies

# Dependent item Depends on Type Risk Mitigation
1 M1E2S1 M1E1S2 Finish-to-Start Low Ordered in T1
2 M2 themes M1 narrative stable Finish-to-Start Medium Exit M1 before heavy M2 build
3 M3 M2 learnings Finish-to-Start Medium Keep M3 aspirational until demand
4 M4 export Privacy/tier strategy External High Policy story M4E2S1

6. Sequencing and iteration mapping

Phase Items included Focus
NOW T1 stories PM narrative, IA honesty, this WBS visible in /plan
NEXT T2 stories Delivery KPIs, portfolio signals, KPI history proposal
LATER T3, T4 Control plane, reporting, integrations

Product Versona cadence: Run sessions at M2E1S1, M3E1S1, M4E1S1 per §1b.


7. Risks

# Risk Likelihood Impact Mitigation Owner
1 M2 metrics conflated with git/LoC vanity Medium Medium Explicit definitions in M2E1S1 Maintainers
2 File-first Lenses cannot satisfy enterprise PM expectations Medium High Roadmap + IA honesty (M1); tier gating docs Maintainers
3 WBS drifts stale Medium Low Quarterly review per roadmap; status table below Maintainers

8. Traceability

WBS item Roadmap milestone Source
T1 M1 roadmap-project-management.md
T2 M2 Same — Monitoring + Portfolio rows
T3 M3 Same — Control plane
T4 M4 Same — Reporting + Integrations
