# Version 1 Implementation Plan
This plan defines the path from MVP to **Version 1 complete**.
The objective is to deliver the full scoped product with production readiness, while explicitly separating refinements/enhancements into a future document.

## 0) Plan Governance & Scope Control (Foundation)
**Goal:** Keep execution focused on V1 completion, not optimization/perfection.
**Goal:** Keep execution focused on V1 completion and avoid unnecessary process overhead.
### Implementation Steps
1. Create and maintain a **V1 Traceability Matrix**:

- Current status (`done`, `partial`, `not started`)
- Owner
- Validation method
2. Define V1 completion gates:
- Functional complete
- Operationally complete
- Production-ready complete
- Personal-deployment ready
3. Snapshot the MVP baseline (tag/changelog reference).
4. Create a standing rule: any non-V1 idea is logged to a separate enhancements backlog document (to be named later), not added to active V1 scope unless explicitly approved.
4. Keep a standing rule: non-V1 ideas go to a separate enhancements backlog, and enter V1 only by explicit approval.

### Exit Criteria
- Every in-scope requirement has explicit ownership and status.
