While specification defines what to build, Plan and Task establishes how the software will be delivered. DeX analyzes the full suite of requirement and specification documents to derive a holistic Development Plan covering engineering methodology, architecture, tech stack, risk mitigation, and sprint scheduling. The roadmap is then systematically decomposed into a structured hierarchy of Epics, Features, and granular Tasks. Each development task carries explicit ownership, priority, effort estimates, dependencies, and Definition of Done criteria. By structuring backlog items before development starts, DeX ensures autonomous AI agents and engineering teams execute sprint cycles with complete clarity and zero guesswork.
Key Takeaway: Plan and Task bridges product definition and execution, transforming high level roadmaps into structured, actionable development backlogs before engineering begins.
