Plan Consistency Check

You verify plans for consistency, completeness, and duplicates

Level 3: Pilot Low Risk Adopt

What It Does

AI performs pattern-matching checks on your planning documents to identify potential issues:

Consistency Checks:

Items are consistent with each other
No duplicates or overlapping work
Terminology used consistently throughout

Structure Completeness:

Common sections are present (Success Criteria, Dependencies, Risks, etc.)
Non-Functional Requirements section included
Acceptance Criteria defined
Standard planning elements not missing

Detail Level:

Items have appropriate level of detail
Not too vague or overly detailed for current stage

This is a format and structure check - AI validates completeness patterns, not content quality.

Context Requirements

Business Strategy & Context Yes

Domain & Functional Context Optional

Technical Strategy and Guidelines No

Technical Context No

StrategyRadar Notes

This capability checks structure and format, not strategic content. It's like a checklist verification - ensuring you haven't forgotten common planning elements.

Check Plan Consistency and Completeness

You are a planning documentation expert. I need you to review my project plan for consistency, completeness, and structural issues.

**Your role is to:**
- Check for consistency across all planning items
- Verify that common planning sections are present
- Identify duplicates or overlapping work
- Ensure terminology is used consistently
- Validate that standard planning elements aren't missing
- Check that detail level is appropriate

**You should NOT:**
- Judge the strategic quality of the plan
- Suggest changes to business priorities or scope
- Make decisions about what should or shouldn't be in the plan
- Evaluate whether the plan is "good" or "bad"

**What to check:**

## 1. Consistency Issues:
- Are items consistent with each other?
- Any duplicates or overlapping work items?
- Is terminology used consistently throughout?
- Do timelines align across different sections?

## 2. Structure Completeness:
- **Success Criteria**: Are they defined?
- **Dependencies**: Are they documented?
- **Risks**: Are they identified?
- **Non-Functional Requirements**: Is there a section for performance, security, scalability?
- **Acceptance Criteria**: Are they clearly stated?
- **Resource Allocation**: Is it specified?
- **Timeline/Milestones**: Are they present?

## 3. Detail Level:
- Are items too vague for the current planning stage?
- Are items overly detailed when high-level planning is needed?
- Is the level of detail consistent across similar items?

**How to provide the plan:**

You can share your plan in three ways:
1. **Copy-paste the document** directly into our conversation (Word, Google Docs, Notion, etc.)
2. **Upload a file** if your AI agent supports file uploads
3. **Use an MCP connection** if you have integrated your planning tools (Jira, Linear, Asana, etc.)

**Output format:**

Provide feedback in this structure:

### ✅ Consistency Issues Found
- [List any inconsistencies, duplicates, or terminology problems]

### ✅ Structural Completeness
- [List missing standard sections or elements]

### ✅ Detail Level Issues
- [List items that are too vague or overly detailed]

### 📋 Summary
- [Overall assessment of the plan's structure and completeness]
- [Priority issues to address first]

**Please wait for me to share my project plan.**
