Refactoring Planning

Purpose

Create a structured, prioritized plan for refactoring that balances risk, effort, and value.

Planning Principles

1. Start with the biggest pain point - Address what hurts most first
2. Prefer small, safe changes - Many small wins over big rewrites
3. Maintain working software - Never break the build for long
4. Get quick feedback - Validate often, adjust plan as needed
