Stage 3 - Plan & Task

⏱️ At a Glance Turns your approved BRD/SRD/FSD into something a development team can actually execute: a sprint-by-sprint Development Plan, then a Development Tasks breakdown derived from that plan.

Purpose: Convert your approved specifications into an actionable development plan and task breakdown - the execution roadmap for the Build phase.

📍 Pipeline position: Stage 3 of 9 - see the full pipeline map.

This stage has two components:

  • Development Plan - Sprint timelines, milestones, and phased deliverables
  • Development Tasks - Granular, actionable items for individual developers

Generating the Development Plan​

  1. After your specs are approved, open Stage 3 - Plan & Task.
  2. Open the Development Plan tab.
  3. Click "Generate Plan" to create the sprint plan and phased execution timeline.
  4. Once generated: Preview, Edit, Download, or Regenerate as needed.

Generating Development Tasks​

  1. After finalizing the plan, navigate to the Development Tasks tab.
  2. Click "Generate Tasks" - DeX automatically creates actionable tasks based on the approved plan.
  3. Once generated: Preview, Edit, Download, or Regenerate if the plan changes.

🗓️ Ensure the Development Plan is reviewed and approved before generating tasks - tasks are derived directly from the plan structure, so changes to the plan after task generation will require regeneration.
