sdlc-handoff

Create complete handoff package for Dev and QA teams to handle customer issue through proper SDLC process.

When to Use

• When customer issue is validated and ready for development
• When transitioning from Support to Dev/QA teams
• When creating SDLC workflow documentation for issues
• When coordinating cross-team handoffs

Quick Start

1. Compile complete issue package (validation, investigation, impact)
2. Create SDLC workflow document with executive summary
3. Generate Dev story with technical requirements
4. Create QA testing checklist with acceptance criteria
5. Schedule collaboration sync if high priority

Purpose

Coordinate the transition of validated customer issues from Support to Dev and QA teams, ensuring all necessary information is documented and tasks are properly assigned.

SEQUENTIAL Task Execution

1. Compile Complete Issue Package

issue_package:
  validation:
    - Playwright reproduction evidence
    - Screenshots and error logs
    - Console output and network traces
    - Reproduction steps documented
    
  investigation:
    - Root cause analysis
    - Affected components
    - Code areas identified
    - Risk assessment
    
  impact:
    - Number of customers affected
    - Business impact statement
    - Revenue/operational impact
    - Workaround availability

2. Create SDLC Workflow Document
