Prepare a delivery backlog

Definition and scope

Translate agreed scope into reviewable work candidates.

Domain: Product

L0 · Hypothesis — original editorial defaults, not empirically verified

AI-assisted editorial review; independent domain review and empirical validation remain pending.

Typical inputs

Agreed scope and known dependency constraints

Expected outputs

Ordered candidate backlog

Proposed success criteria

1. Each candidate records an intended result and dependency assumptions.

2. Unverified claims, missing context and required authorizations are explicit; the artifact does not certify external completion.

Evidence expectations

For criterion 1: Scope-to-candidate mapping with owner and date unknowns.

For criterion 2: Reviewer-visible scope, unresolved questions and authorization requirements attached to the versioned artifact.

Risks and authority

A backlog is a proposal rather than execution authorization.

Planning defaults only. Confirm scope, permission and human approval before instantiation; this record authorizes no action.

These are context-dependent planning considerations, not legal advice or execution permissions.

Provenance and quality

Release ordien-world-2026-09-07-v2; revision 1; recorded 2026-09-06.

L0 · Original proposed definition and defaults. Design hypotheses, not empirical findings or universal process requirements. Source: Ordien — Ordien Phase 6 editorial proposals. Scope: Phase 6 original curation, exact subject identified by canonical ID. Inspected 2026-09-06.

L1 · GitHub Projects relates planning items to issues and pull requests and supports backlog or roadmap views. This documents one software surface, not a universal delivery method. Source: GitHub — About Projects. Scope: Staying up-to-date; Viewing your project from different perspectives. Inspected 2026-09-06.

Source-supported statements do not validate the proposed workflow, automation performance or economic outcomes. Adapt defaults to the organization's requirements and authority.
