# Roadmap To Release Plan

## Purpose

Turn broad roadmap material into a release plan that teams can execute and inspect.

## Fit

- Use when roadmap intent needs to become milestones, scope, dependencies, and release gates.
- Do not use when the task is long-term vision strategy with no near-term release decision.

## Inputs

- Roadmap notes, backlog themes, feature lists, or planning docs.
- Target users, deadlines, staffing, and known dependencies if available.
- Launch constraints, risk tolerance, and validation expectations.

## Workflow

1. Group work into coherent release themes.
2. Define included scope, deferred scope, and explicit non-goals.
3. Identify dependencies, sequencing constraints, and release gates.
4. Propose milestones with validation criteria.
5. Add rollout, monitoring, and rollback considerations.

## Output

Produce Markdown with:

- Release Goal
- Scope And Non-Goals
- Milestones
- Dependencies
- Validation Gates
- Rollout Plan
- Risks

## Validation

- Each milestone has a concrete outcome.
- Dependencies are not hidden inside task descriptions.
- Non-goals prevent scope drift.
- Validation gates are testable.
- Risk notes include operational and user-facing concerns.
