FR-051 – FR/BR/UXR Prioritization Board

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

Problem Statement​

The AI Dev Kit project currently has no centralized board for prioritizing open FRs (Feature Requests), BRs (Bug Reports), and UXRs (User Experience Research items). While the Kanban board effectively manages MoSCOW-prioritized tasks, there's no equivalent system for managing the intake and prioritization of FRs, BRs, and UXRs.

Current Issues:

  • No visibility into FR/BR/UXR priorities and status
  • No systematic approach to prioritizing which FRs/BRs/UXRs to work on next
  • No tracking mechanism for FR/BR/UXR completion and historical reference
  • Scattered management across individual files without centralized oversight
  • No completion tracking similar to kanban-completed.md for finished FR/BR/UXRs

Proposed Solution​

Create an FR/BR/UXR Prioritization Board with identical responsibility structure to the Kanban board, specifically for managing open FRs, BRs, and UXRs.

Core Components​

  1. Main Board (fbuboard.md)

    • Prioritized list of open FRs, BRs, and UXRs
    • Status tracking (TODO, IN PROGRESS, UNDER REVIEW, etc.)
    • Priority levels (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
    • Links to individual FR/BR/UXR documents

  2. Completed Board (fr-br-uxr-completed.md)

    • Historical tracking of completed FR/BR/UXRs
    • Completion dates and version markers
    • Categorized by type (FR, BR, UXR)
    • Reference to associated tasks that implemented them

  3. Integration with Existing Systems

    • Links to individual FR/BR/UXR documents in /fr-br/ directory
    • Cross-references to associated Kanban tasks
    • Integration with intake workflow for automatic updates

Board Structure​

Main Board Sections​

  • Critical Priority - Urgent FRs/BRs/UXRs requiring immediate attention
  • High Priority - Important items that should be addressed soon
  • Medium Priority - Standard priority items
  • Low Priority - Nice-to-have items
  • Under Review - Items currently being evaluated or worked on
  • Awaiting Information - Items blocked by missing information

Completed Board Sections​

  • Completed Feature Requests - Implemented features
  • Resolved Bug Reports - Fixed bugs
  • Completed User Experience Research - Finished research initiatives

Success Criteria​

Functional Requirements​

  1. ✅ Main Board Created - Functional prioritization board for FR/BR/UXRs
  2. ✅ Completed Board Created - Historical tracking for finished items
  3. ✅ Priority System - Clear priority levels and status tracking
  4. ✅ Integration - Links to existing FR/BR/UXR documents and Kanban tasks
  5. ✅ Automatic Updates - Integration with intake workflow for board updates

Quality Requirements​

  1. ✅ Identical Structure - Same responsibility model as Kanban board
  2. ✅ Clear Prioritization - Easy to understand priority system
  3. ✅ Comprehensive Tracking - Complete lifecycle tracking from open to completed
  4. ✅ Historical Reference - Easy lookup of completed items and their implementations

Integration Requirements​

  1. ✅ FR/BR/UXR Links - Direct links to individual documents
  2. ✅ Kanban Integration - Cross-references to associated tasks
  3. ✅ Intake Workflow - Automatic board updates when new FR/BR/UXRs are created
  4. ✅ Completion Tracking - Automatic updates when FR/BR/UXRs are completed

Technical Implementation​

Files to Create​

  1. docs/project-management/kanban/fbuboard.md - Main prioritization board
  2. docs/project-management/kanban/fr-br-uxr-completed.md - Completed items tracking

Files to Update​

  1. kboard.md - Add reference to FR/BR/UXR board
  2. kanban-board-guide.md - Add FR/BR/UXR board documentation
  3. Intake workflow - Add automatic board update functionality

Integration Points​

  • FR/BR/UXR Documents - Link to individual documents in /fr-br/ directory
  • Kanban Tasks - Cross-reference to tasks implementing FR/BR/UXRs
  • Intake Workflow - Automatic board population and updates
  • Release Workflow - Update completed board when FR/BR/UXRs are released

Benefits​

Immediate Benefits​

  • Visibility - Clear view of all FR/BR/UXR priorities and status
  • Prioritization - Systematic approach to deciding what to work on next
  • Tracking - Complete lifecycle tracking from intake to completion
  • Historical Reference - Easy lookup of completed items and their implementations

Long-term Benefits​

  • Better Planning - Data-driven approach to FR/BR/UXR prioritization
  • Improved Communication - Clear status visibility for all stakeholders
  • Historical Analysis - Ability to analyze FR/BR/UXR completion patterns
  • Process Improvement - Foundation for continuous improvement of intake process

Risk Mitigation​

Low Risk​

  • Well-defined scope - Clear requirements based on existing Kanban board pattern
  • Proven approach - Using identical structure to successful Kanban board
  • Incremental implementation - Can start with basic functionality and enhance over time

Mitigation Strategies​

  • Follow existing patterns - Use Kanban board structure as proven template
  • Gradual rollout - Start with basic functionality, add features as needed
  • Continuous improvement - Gather feedback and refine based on usage

Dependencies​

Required Dependencies​

  • Existing FR/BR/UXR documents in /fr-br/ directory
  • Current Kanban board structure and patterns
  • Intake workflow for automatic updates

Optional Dependencies​

  • Integration with GitHub Issues for external FR/BR/UXR tracking
  • Automated priority scoring based on impact and effort
  • Dashboard visualization of FR/BR/UXR metrics

Timeline​

Phase 1: Foundation (Day 1)​

  • Create main FR/BR/UXR board structure
  • Create completed board structure
  • Populate with existing open FR/BR/UXRs
  • Set up basic priority and status tracking

Phase 2: Integration (Day 2)​

  • Add links to individual FR/BR/UXR documents
  • Cross-reference with existing Kanban tasks
  • Update Kanban board documentation
  • Test basic functionality

Phase 3: Automation (Day 3)​

  • Integrate with intake workflow for automatic updates
  • Implement completion tracking
  • Final testing and validation

Success Metric: Fully functional FR/BR/UXR prioritization board with identical responsibility structure to Kanban board, providing clear visibility and systematic prioritization of all open FRs, BRs, and UXRs.

This FR establishes the foundation for systematic FR/BR/UXR management, bringing the same level of organization and visibility to the intake process that the Kanban board provides to task execution.
