Check the evidence before proceeding
Local readiness checklistIllustrative case: “add search” is high priority, but nobody has specified the searchable records or the expected empty state.
Owner role · Reviewer
Evidence: A sample query and the no-result state have agreed expected outcomes.
Owner role · Engineer
Evidence: The item records whether existing data access supports the boundary or needs investigation.

Checking boxes records your review here; it does not verify product data or save anything.
Decision to make: Commit to a scoped search behavior only after the record boundary and reviewer are agreed.
Filled illustrative decision
Invented planning text. Adapt it to your evidence and confirmed owners.
The sample search brief narrows coverage to active client reports, names a reviewer and specifies an empty result with a clear-filter action. Searching archived documents remains excluded. The team can now discuss the scoped outcome without treating every searchable record as an implied commitment.
Put the outline to work
- Ask which user decision or action the item should enable.
- Write one successful case and one important boundary before estimating.
- Move unanswered implementation risk into a short investigation with its own outcome.
Questions about this workflow
Do small fixes need the same process?
Use a lighter review when the behavior and reviewer are already clear. Avoid adding paperwork that changes no delivery decision.
What if the request is still ambiguous?
Keep it out of the commitment and assign a bounded clarification task with a decision owner.
Does this create tasks in the product?
No. The brief is a manual planning resource. Use the product access link to check onboarding and the workflows available in your account.
