4-Construct Hierarchy:

  1. Strategy (Quarterly): ROADMAP.md, strategic themes, capability waves
  2. Releases (Sprint-based): Sprint planning, version milestones, velocity tracking
  3. Features (Per feature): DDD/BDD/TDD workflow, feature specifications
  4. Tasks (Daily): Beads task tracking, 2-8 hour chunks, dependency management

New File: LIGHT_PLUS_REFERENCE.md (444 lines)

  • Quick reference table for all 4 constructs
  • Maturity assessment checklist (L0-L5 per construct)
  • 4 common planning patterns

Key Benefits

βœ… Traceability: Every task links to feature β†’ release β†’ strategy
βœ… Scalability: Simple projects use Tasks only, complex use full hierarchy
