Use case

Planned

Backlog grooming

Break an outcome into issues — estimated, sequenced and ready to assign — instead of grooming a backlog by hand.

The stage, and what it produces

What it is

From an approved spec, a delivery agent proposes the breakdown: issues, dependencies, estimates and a delivery order. You review it, and Smart Assign can route each issue to the right owner — person or coding agent.

In a run

What the stage runs through

  • Break the work into issues from the spec
  • Propose estimates, dependencies and a sequence
  • A human adjusts and approves
  • Route each issue with Smart Assign

Works with

The parts of the platform it leans on

Where it stands. The breakdown is part of the Planned orchestration. Smart Assign — routing issues to the right owner — ships today.
