Festival Methodology

Festival Methodology is a goal-oriented project management system for human-AI development workflows. It replaces sprints, story points, and time estimates with steps to goals.

Core Concepts

• Festivals: Top-level project containers with a specific goal
• Phases: Major stages (planning, implementation, review) — prefixed NNN_ (e.g., 001_PLAN/)
• Sequences: Ordered groups of related tasks within a phase — prefixed NN_ (e.g., 01_setup/)
• Tasks: Atomic work units as markdown files — prefixed NN_ (e.g., 01_create_schema.md)
