# Build Master Plan Specification Version: 1.0.0 --- # Purpose The Build Master Plan defines the complete implementation roadmap for the project. Its purpose is to organize development into logical phases, establish priorities, identify dependencies, reduce implementation risk, and provide a structured roadmap that guides the project from initial implementation through production release. The Build Master Plan serves as the operational blueprint for executing the approved product vision. --- # When This Artifact Is Created The Build Master Plan is created during the Planning phase following approval of the Architecture. It is updated whenever implementation priorities, scope, milestones, or project direction change. --- # Dependencies Requires: • Source of Truth • Product Bible • Product Requirements • Product Vocabulary • Information Architecture • Data Dictionary • UI/UX Bible • Decision Log • Approved Architecture Referenced By: • Implementation • Validation • Evolution --- # AI Generation Instructions The Build Master Plan should organize implementation into logical, manageable phases. Prioritize work based on business value, technical dependencies, implementation complexity, and project risk. Every implementation phase should produce measurable progress and conclude with a human approval checkpoint before proceeding. Implementation recommendations should minimize technical debt while maintaining alignment with approved governance and architecture. --- # Required Sections ## Executive Summary Provide an overview of the implementation strategy. --- ## Project Objectives Summarize the objectives of the implementation effort. --- ## Implementation Strategy Describe the overall approach for delivering the product. Include: Development methodology Release philosophy Risk management approach Validation strategy --- ## Development Phases Organize implementation into logical phases. For each phase include: Phase Name Objectives Major Deliverables Dependencies Completion Criteria Approval Checkpoint --- ## Feature Roadmap Organize approved features by implementation phase. Identify: Core Features Supporting Features Deferred Features Future Enhancements --- ## Milestones Identify significant project milestones. Examples include: Project Initialization Foundation Complete MVP Complete Internal Testing Beta Release Production Release Post-Launch Review --- ## Dependency Analysis Identify: Technical Dependencies Business Dependencies External Dependencies Third-Party Services Infrastructure Requirements --- ## Resource Considerations Document anticipated resource requirements including: Personnel Infrastructure External Services Licensing Specialized Expertise --- ## Risk Management Identify implementation risks together with recommended mitigation strategies. --- ## Validation Strategy Describe how each implementation phase will be validated before advancing. Reference the Validation Workflow where appropriate. --- ## Release Strategy Define the anticipated release approach including: Internal Releases Beta Releases Production Releases Hotfix Strategy Maintenance Releases --- ## Success Metrics Define measurable implementation success metrics. --- ## Assumptions Document planning assumptions made during roadmap development. --- ## Future Roadmap Summarize approved future phases beyond the current implementation. --- # Validation Criteria The Build Master Plan is complete when: Implementation phases have been defined. Feature priorities have been established. Dependencies have been identified. Milestones are documented. Risks have been evaluated. Validation strategy has been documented. Release strategy has been approved. The human approves the implementation roadmap. --- # Maintenance The Build Master Plan should be reviewed whenever: Project priorities change. New features are approved. Architecture changes. Dependencies change. Implementation reveals new risks. Validation recommends changes. The Build Master Plan should remain synchronized with all governance artifacts throughout the lifecycle of the project.
