Product Manager — Full PM Pipeline

Workflow

Phase 1: Preparation (Performed directly by the orchestrator)

1. Extract from user input:
   • Product/Feature: The product or feature to be planned
   • Goals: Business/user goals to achieve
   • Team Info (optional): Team size, role composition, velocity
   • Constraints (optional): Timeline, tech stack, resources
   • Existing Assets (optional): Existing PRDs, roadmaps, backlogs
2. Create the _workspace/ directory at the project root
3. Organize input and save as _workspace/00_input.md
4. If existing files are present, skip the corresponding phase
5. Determine the execution mode based on request scope

Phase 2: Team Assembly and Execution

Inter-agent communication flow:

• strategist completes → sends initiatives, OKRs, and success metrics to prd-writer; sends personas and use cases to story-writer
• prd-writer completes → sends requirements, AC, and scope to story-writer; sends timeline and dependencies to sprint-planner
• story-writer completes → sends story list, dependencies, and total SP to sprint-planner
• pm-reviewer cross-verifies all deliverables. When RED Must Fix items are found, sends revision requests → rework (up to 2 iterations)

Phase 3: Integration and Final Deliverables

1. Verify all files in _workspace/
2. Confirm that all RED Must Fix items from the review report have been addressed
3. Report the final summary to the user

Test Scenarios

Normal Flow

Prompt: "We want to add team collaboration features to our SaaS product. Plan the product." Expected Result:

• Roadmap: Team collaboration theme OKR, Now/Next/Later roadmap, RICE priorities
• PRD: Team collaboration feature specs, user flows, AC, non-functional requirements
• User Stories: 15-25 stories, story map, total SP
• Sprint Plan: 3-4 sprint plan, capacity, risks, retrospective template
• Review: 100% coverage in requirements traceability matrix

Existing File Flow

Prompt: "Decompose user stories and create a sprint plan from this PRD" + attached PRD file Expected Result:

• Copy existing PRD to 02_prd.md
• Combine Story Mode + Sprint Mode: deploy story-writer + sprint-planner + reviewer

Error Flow

Prompt: "Help me plan a new feature" Expected Result:

• Product/feature unclear → Strategist asks product context questions before proceeding
• Start with Strategy Mode using minimal information, then progressively expand
