Project Backlog
This section provides an overview of the project backlog - tasks and improvements that are planned but not yet implemented.
What is the Backlog?
The backlog is a structured approach to tracking tasks, issues, and improvements that need to be implemented in the MLAI project. It serves as:
Task management for organizing and prioritizing work items
Documentation of planned features and improvements
Project planning tool for coordinating work across the team
Historical record of completed and abandoned tasks
Backlog Structure
The backlog is organized into different categories:
Documentation: Documentation-related tasks
Infrastructure: Infrastructure-related tasks
Features: Feature-related tasks
Bugs: Bug-related tasks
Task Status Workflow
Tasks follow this workflow:
Proposed: Initial idea or concept
Ready: Fully described and ready for implementation
In Progress: Currently being worked on
Completed: Successfully implemented
Abandoned: Will not be implemented (with explanation)
Current Backlog
The backlog is maintained in the backlog/ directory. For the most up-to-date information, see the backlog README.
Integration with CIPs
Backlog items can be linked to CIPs when they represent significant improvements or architectural changes. This provides traceability between high-level design decisions and specific implementation tasks.
For more information about the backlog system, see the backlog README.
