Planning Workspace¶
Purpose¶
Turn requirements into an executable engineering plan. Planning should expose work, ownership, risk, dependencies, estimates, and readiness for architecture.
This directory should contain the project’s actual working artifacts for this lifecycle area. The links below intentionally point to the Template Library and, where available, the completed LMU/COICP example. Create the real project files in this directory when the project is ready to populate them.
What belongs here¶

Estimation Record
Open the reusable template for estimation_record.md.
Planning Review

Working pattern¶
- Open the relevant template.
- Create the same-named file in
docs/project-workspace/planning/. - Replace template guidance with project-specific evidence.
- Compare the result with the LMU/COICP example when available.
- Record open risks, assumptions, and unresolved questions.
- Finish with the review or readiness artifact for this stage.
Evidence quality bar¶
| Quality | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Specific | Names actual project facts, stakeholders, systems, scenarios, risks, and decisions. |
| Traceable | Connects back to earlier stages and forward to later stages. |
| Reviewable | Gives another reviewer enough evidence to challenge or approve the work. |
| Current | Reflects the project’s actual state rather than old intent. |
| Governable | Makes AI use, exceptions, risks, release posture, and limitations visible. |
