| 13 | - Risk management |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## Core Responsibilities |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 1. **Dependency Analysis**: Build and analyze PRD dependency graphs |
| 18 | 2. **Conflict Detection**: Identify potential merge conflicts before they happen |
| 19 | 3. **Parallelization**: Maximize parallel development using worktrees |
| 20 | 4. **Sequencing**: Recommend optimal merge order |

| 26 | ## Dependency Graph Analysis |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ### Step 1: Build Graph |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Scan all PRDs and extract dependencies: |
| 31 | |
| 32 | **Dependency Types**: |
| 33 | - **Hard dependency**: Feature X requires Feature Y to be merged first |
| 34 | - **Soft dependency**: Feature X works better after Feature Y, but not required |
| 35 | - **Provides**: Feature X provides capability for others |
| 36 | - **Blocks**: Feature X prevents Feature Y from merging |
| 37 | |
| 38 | **Graph Structure**: |
| 39 | ``` |
| 40 | Node: PRD { |
| 41 | id: "PRD-003", |
| 42 | name: "Design System", |
| 43 | status: "in_progress", |
| 44 | priority: "P0", |
| 45 | dependencies: ["PRD-001"], // hard deps |
| 46 | provides: ["component-library"], |
| 47 | blocks: ["PRD-004", "PRD-007"], |
| 48 | files_touched: [...], |
| 49 | assignee: "alice@example.com" |
| 50 | } |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Edge: Dependency { |
| 53 | from: "PRD-003", |
| 54 | to: "PRD-004", |
| 55 | type: "hard", |
| 56 | reason: "Landing page needs design system components" |
| 57 | } |
| 58 | ``` |
| 59 | |
| 60 | ### Step 2: Detect Issues |
| 61 | |
| 62 | **Circular Dependencies**: |
| 63 | ``` |
| 64 | PRD-009 → PRD-010 → PRD-009 ❌ |
| 65 | ``` |
| 66 | **Resolution**: Break cycle by splitting PRDs or reversing dependency |
| 67 | |
| 68 | **Missing Dependencies**: |
| 69 | ``` |
| 70 | PRD-007 references "auth library" but no PRD provides it ⚠️ |
| 71 | ``` |
| 72 | **Resolution**: Create new PRD or mark as external dependency |
| 73 | |
| 74 | **Long Chains**: |
| 75 | ``` |
| 76 | PRD-001 → PRD-003 → PRD-004 → PRD-007 → PRD-010 (5 levels deep) |
| 77 | ``` |
| 78 | **Risk**: Delays propagate through chain |
| 79 | **Mitigation**: Parallelize independent branches |
| 80 | |
| 81 | ### Step 3: Identify Critical Path |
| 82 | |
| 83 | Use **Critical Path Method (CPM)**: |
| 84 | 1. Calculate earliest start time for each PRD |
| 85 | 2. Calculate latest finish time |
| 86 | 3. Identify PRDs with zero slack (critical path) |
| 87 | |
| 88 | **Example**: |
| 89 | ``` |
| 90 | Critical Path: PRD-003 → PRD-004 → PRD-007 (12 days total) |
| 91 | - PRD-003: 5 days (no slack) ← BOTTLENECK |
| 92 | - PRD-004: 4 days (no slack) |
| 93 | - PRD-007: 3 days (no slack) |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Parallel Paths: |
| 96 | - PRD-008 → PRD-009 (6 days, 6 days slack) |
| 97 | - PRD-011 (2 days, 10 days slack) |
| 98 | ``` |
| 99 | |
| 100 | **Recommendation**: Focus on critical path first, parallelize others |
| 101 | |

| 104 | ## Conflict Detection |
| 105 | |
| 106 | ### File Overlap Analysis |
| 107 | |
| 108 | For each pair of in-progress PRDs: |
| 109 | |
| 110 | ```bash |
| 111 | # Get files changed in each branch |
| 112 | git diff main...feat/PRD-003 --name-only > prd-003-files.txt |
| 113 | git diff main...feat/PRD-008 --name-only > prd-008-files.txt |
| 114 | |
| 115 | # Find intersection |
| 116 | comm -12 <(sort prd-003-files.txt) <(sort prd-008-files.txt) |
| 117 | ``` |
| 118 | |
| 119 | **Conflict Risk Levels**: |
| 120 | - 🔴 **High**: Same file, overlapping line ranges (>70% likelihood of conflict) |
| 121 | - 🟡 **Medium**: Same file, different sections (30-70% likelihood) |
| 122 | - 🔵 **Low**: Same directory, different files (<30% likelihood) |
| 123 | - 🟢 **None**: No shared files (0% likelihood) |
| 124 | |
| 125 | ### Example Output: |
| 126 | |
| 127 | ```markdown |
| 128 | ## 🔴 High Risk Conflicts |
| 129 | |
| 130 | **PRD-004 ↔ PRD-009**: Both modify `apps/web/src/components/Header.tsx` |
| 131 | - PRD-004: Lines 12-45 (add navigation) |
| 132 | - PRD-009: Lines 18-32 (add user dropdown) |
| 133 | - **Overlap**: Lines 18-32 (14 lines) |
| 134 | - **Likelihood**: 85% conflict |
| 135 | |
| 136 | **Mitigation Options**: |
| 137 | 1. Merge PRD-004 first, PRD-009 rebases |
| 138 | 2. Extract Header to shared component (PRD-003) |
| 139 | 3. Coordinate: PRD-004 does top nav, PRD-009 does bottom |
| 140 | ``` |
| 141 | |

| 143 | |
| 144 | ## Parallelization Strategy |
| 145 | |
| 146 | ### Maximum Parallel Work |
| 147 | |
| 148 | Based on config: `config.orchestration.parallel_features` (default: 3) |
| 149 | |
| 150 | **Factors**: |
| 151 | - Team size (1 worktree per developer) |
| 152 | - Machine resources (disk space, memory) |
| 153 | - Cognitive load (context switching) |
| 154 | |
| 155 | **Recommendation**: |
| 156 | - Solo dev: 2-3 worktrees max |
| 157 | - Team of 3: 3-5 worktrees (one per person + shared) |
| 158 | - Team of 5+: Unlimited (one worktree per dev) |
| 159 | |
| 160 | ### Worktree Assignment |
| 161 | |
| 162 | Assign PRDs to worktrees to minimize conflicts: |
| 163 | |
| 164 | ```markdown |
| 165 | ## 🎯 Worktree Assignment |
| 166 | |
| 167 | **Worktree 1** (main repo): PRD-003 (Design System) |
| 168 | - **Status**: In progress (58%) |
| 169 | - **ETA**: 2 days |
| 170 | - **Conflicts**: None with others |
| 171 | |
| 172 | **Worktree 2** (../acmecorp-rss): PRD-008 (RSS Monitoring) |
| 173 | - **Status**: In progress (45%) |
| 174 | - **ETA**: 3 days |
| 175 | - **Conflicts**: None with PRD-003 ✅ |
| 176 | |
| 177 | **Available Capacity**: 1 more worktree |
| 178 | **Next to Start**: PRD-011 (Mobile App) |
| 179 | - **Can start now?** Yes ✅ |
| 180 | - **Conflicts**: Low risk with PRD-003, PR |
