Storage

How Project Management artifacts are organized in the .project/ directory.

Directory Structure

All Project Management artifacts are stored in your project's .project/ directory, organized by project:

.project/<project>/
  00-initiate.md           ← Charter, stakeholders, team, DoD
  01-plan.md               ← Vision, roadmap, backlog, stories, sprints
  02-sprint.md             ← Standups, goals, blockers, WIP
  03-review.md             ← Sprint review, demos, metrics, releases
  04-improve.md            ← Retros, process improvements, health
  risk-assessment.md       ← Risk register and mitigations
  decision-log.md          ← Project decisions with rationale
  capacity-planning.md     ← Team capacity across sprints
  status-report.md         ← Leadership status updates
  skip-log.md              ← Prerequisite bypass log

File Naming Convention

Project Management phase artifacts use a numbered prefix pattern (00- through 04-) corresponding to each phase of the Scrum-based workflow. Utility files use descriptive names without numbered prefixes and serve as cross-sprint reference documents.

Accessing Artifacts

To find Project Management artifacts from other domains:

  1. List available projects: check directories under .project/
  2. Read a specific phase artifact: .project/<project>/01-plan.md
  3. The sprint backlog in 01-plan.md and sprint metrics in 03-review.md are the most commonly referenced artifacts
  4. Utility files like risk-assessment.md and decision-log.md accumulate entries across sprints
