# Planning Terminology

Use these terms consistently across this repo:

- **Execution Board**: Active orchestrated work (waves, owners, dependencies, acceptance criteria).  
  - Location: `.harness/*-execution-board.md`
- **Roadmap**: Strategic direction and future milestones.  
  - Location: [`ROADMAP.md`](../ROADMAP.md)
- **Backlog**: Unscheduled ideas/tasks not currently orchestrated.  
  - Location: `TODO.md` and "Future Ideas (Backlog)" in `ROADMAP.md`

## Conventions

- Start active multi-task efforts as an **Execution Board** in `.harness/`.
- Use filename pattern: `topic-execution-board.md` (e.g., `image-import-hardening-execution-board.md`).
- Keep the Roadmap high-level; move execution detail into Execution Boards.
