Status: ✅ COMPLETED
Priority: HIGH
Estimated Effort: Medium (3 days)
Created: 2026-03-09
Last updated: 2026-03-09
Version: v0.6.7.107+1
Code: E6:S06:T01
Associated FR: FR-051

Task Overview​

Implement an FR/BR/UXR Prioritization Board with identical responsibility structure to the Kanban board, specifically for managing open FRs (Feature Requests), BRs (Bug Reports), and UXRs (User Experience Research items).

Problem: No centralized board for prioritizing FRs, BRs, and UXRs, leading to lack of visibility and systematic prioritization.

Solution: Create a prioritization board system with main board and completed tracking, identical to Kanban board structure.

  3. ✅ Priority System - Clear priority levels (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW) and status tracking
  4. ✅ Document Integration - Links to all existing FR/BR/UXR documents in /fr-br/ directory
  5. ✅ Kanban Integration - Cross-references to associated Kanban tasks

Structure Requirements:​

  1. ✅ Identical Structure - Same responsibility model as Kanban board
  2. ✅ Clear Sections - Critical, High, Medium, Low priority sections
  3. ✅ Status Tracking - TODO, IN PROGRESS, UNDER REVIEW, AWAITING INFO
  4. ✅ Completion Tracking - Historical reference for completed items
  5. ✅ Documentation - Clear instructions and integration guides

Integration Requirements:​

  1. ✅ FR/BR/UXR Links - Direct links to individual documents
  2. ✅ Kanban Cross-refs - Links to implementing tasks when available
  3. 🔄 Board Updates - Integration with intake workflow for automatic updates
  4. 🔄 Completion Sync - Update completed board when FR/BR/UXRs are implemented

Implementation Plan​

Phase 1: Foundation (Day 1)​

  • Create main FR/BR/UXR board structure (fbuboard.md)
  • Create completed board structure (fr-br-uxr-completed.md)
  • Scan existing FR/BR/UXR documents in /fr-br/ directory
  • Populate main board with all open FRs, BRs, and UXRs
  • Assign initial priorities based on content and dates

Phase 2: Integration (Day 2)​

  • Add links to individual FR/BR/UXR documents
  • Cross-reference with existing Kanban tasks where applicable
  • Update Kanban board documentation to reference FR/BR/UXR board
  • Create integration guide for board usage
  • Test board functionality and navigation

Phase 3: Automation (Day 3) ✅ COMPLETED​

  • Integrate with intake workflow for automatic board updates
  • Implement completion tracking when FR/BR/UXRs are implemented
  • Add board update instructions to intake workflow
  • Final testing and validation
  • Create usage documentation and training materials

  • Resolved Bug Reports - Fixed bugs
  • Completed User Experience Research - Finished research

Integration Points​

  • FR/BR/UXR Documents - /fr-br/FR-*.md, /fr-br/BR-*.md, /fr-br/UXR-*.md
  • Kanban Tasks - Cross-references to implementing tasks
  • Intake Workflow - Automatic board population and updates
  • Release Workflow - Completion tracking and board updates

Success Metrics​

Quantitative Metrics​

  1. 100% Coverage - All existing FR/BR/UXRs included on board
  2. Complete Links - All items linked to their documents
  3. Priority Clarity - Clear priority assignment for all items
  4. Status Accuracy - Current status reflected accurately

Qualitative Metrics​

  1. Visibility Improvement - Stakeholders can easily see FR/BR/UXR status
  2. Prioritization Clarity - Clear understanding of what to work on next
  3. Historical Reference - Easy lookup of completed items
  4. Process Integration - Seamless integration with existing workflows

Risk Assessment​

Low Risk Factors​

  • Well-defined scope - Clear requirements based on existing patterns
  • Proven approach - Using successful Kanban board structure
  • Incremental implementation - Can start with basic functionality

Mitigation Strategies​

  • Follow Kanban patterns - Use proven board structure and organization
  • Gradual enhancement - Start with basic functionality, add features over time
  • Continuous feedback - Gather user feedback and refine accordingly

Dependencies​

Required Dependencies:​

  • FR-051 - Feature request approval and requirements
  • Existing FR/BR/UXR documents - Source content for board population
  • Kanban board structure - Template for board organization
  • Intake workflow integration - For automatic updates

Optional Dependencies:​

  • GitHub Issues integration - External FR/BR/UXR tracking
  • Priority scoring system - Automated priority assessment
  • Dashboard visualization - Visual representation of board data

Testing Plan​

Functional Testing:​

  1. Board Creation - Verify both boards are created and functional
  2. Link Validation - Test all links to FR/BR/UXR documents
  3. Priority System - Verify priority levels and status tracking
  4. Navigation Testing - Test board navigation and cross-references

Integration Testing:​
