`/xplanning` - AI-Assisted Planning

Strategic planning and project management with AI-driven insights and estimation.

Usage

/xplanning --roadmap         # Generate roadmap
/xplanning --prioritize      # Prioritize tasks
/xplanning --estimate        # Effort estimation
/xplanning --resources       # Plan allocation
/xplanning --risks           # Identify risks

Options

`--roadmap`

Generate strategic roadmaps with timeline and milestone planning.

**Examples:**

/xplanning --roadmap         # Generate full roadmap
/xplanning --roadmap --quarter Q2
/xplanning --roadmap --epic "user-management"
/xplanning --roadmap --dependencies

`--prioritize`

AI-driven task prioritization based on value, effort, and dependencies.

**Examples:**

/xplanning --prioritize      # Prioritize all tasks
/xplanning --prioritize --method "moscow"
/xplanning --prioritize --criteria "business-value"
/xplanning --prioritize --stakeholder "product"

`--estimate`

Effort estimation using historical data and AI analysis.

**Examples:**

/xplanning --estimate        # Estimate all tasks
/xplanning --estimate --task "authentication"
/xplanning --estimate --method "story-points"
/xplanning --estimate --confidence 90

`--resources`

Resource allocation and capacity planning.

**Examples:**

/xplanning --resources       # View resource allocation
/xplanning --resources --team "backend"
/xplanning --resources --capacity
/xplanning --resources --skills "python,aws"

`--risks`

Risk identification and mitigation planning.

**Examples:**

/xplanning --risks           # Identify all risks
/xplanning --risks --category "technical"
/xplanning --risks --impact high
/xplanning --risks --mitigation
