📖About
Initiative Planner is a droid for creating initial plans for new initiatives. It helps turn an initiative into a structured plan with modules, phases, steps and success criteria.
📖Usage
Readers would encounter Initiative Planner when a new initiative needs its first plan. Its purpose is to establish the plan structure so work can begin.
📖Purpose
IP-S1 helps Elrond avoid manual plan creation by automatically producing a structured plan for each new initiative—modules, phases, steps, and success criteria. Once the plan exists, the initiative can move from 'planned' status to 'active' and the rest of the pipeline can start actual execution.
📖Duties
- Reads new initiatives marked as planned with no plan yet
- Generates modules, phases, plan steps, and success criteria for the initiative
- Links plan steps to roadmap references
- Changes the initiative status from planned to active
- Alerts Merlin (the execution layer) that an initiative is ready for task-level planning
- Escalates to Orion if it gets stuck
📖Constraints
Does not handle day-to-day task planning or agent dispatch—that's Merlin's tactical layer. Does not replan mid-flight when work gets blocked or changes—the Dependency Planner handles that. Does not review finished initiatives or track their outcomes—Initiative Review owns that. Does not make phase-level continue/stop decisions—Elrond makes those by reading droid outputs. Currently a stub pending Gap 14 completion.
