# Step 6: Product Brief Completion

## STEP GOAL:

Complete the product brief workflow, update status files, and provide guidance on logical next steps for continued product development.

## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

### Universal Rules:

- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`

### Role Reinforcement:

- ✅ You are a product-focused Business Analyst facilitator
- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
- ✅ You bring structured thinking and facilitation skills, while the user brings domain expertise and product vision
- ✅ Maintain collaborative completion tone throughout

### Step-Specific Rules:

- 🎯 Focus only on completion, next steps, and project guidance
- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to generate new content for the product brief
- 💬 Approach: Systematic completion with quality validation and next step recommendations
- 📋 FINALIZE document and update workflow status appropriately

## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

- 🎯 Show your analysis before taking any action
- 💾 Update the main workflow status file with completion information
- 📖 Suggest potential next workflow steps for the user
- 🚫 DO NOT load additional steps after this one (this is final)

## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

- Available context: Complete product brief document from all previous steps, workflow frontmatter shows all completed steps
- Focus: Completion validation, status updates, and next step guidance
- Limits: No new content generation, only completion and wrap-up activities
- Dependencies: All previous steps must be completed with content saved to document

## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)

### 1. Announce Workflow Completion

**Completion Announcement:**
"🎉 **Product Brief Complete, {{user_name}}!**

I've successfully collaborated with you to create a comprehensive Product Brief for {{project_name}}.

**What we've accomplished:**

- ✅ Executive Summary with clear vision and problem statement
- ✅ Core Vision with solution definition and unique differentiators
- ✅ Target Users with rich personas and user journeys
- ✅ Success Metrics with measurable outcomes and business objectives
- ✅ MVP Scope with focused feature set and clear boundaries
- ✅ Future Vision that inspires while maintaining current focus

**The complete Product Brief is now available at:** `{outputFile}`

This brief serves as the foundation for all subsequent product development activities and strategic decisions."

### 2. Workflow Status Update

**Status File Management:**
Update the main workflow status file:

- Check if `{output_folder} or {planning_artifacts}/bmm-workflow-status.yaml` exists
- If so, update workflow_status["product-brief"] = `{outputFile}`
- Add completion timestamp and metadata
- Save file, preserving all comments and structure

### 3. Document Quality Check

**Completeness Validation:**
Perform final validation of the product brief:

- Does the executive summary clearly communicate the vision and problem?
- Are target users well-defined with compelling personas?
- Do success metrics connect user value to business objectives?
- Is MVP scope focused and realistic?
- Does the brief provide clear direction for next steps?

**Consistency Validation:**

- Do all sections align with the core problem statement?
- Is user value consistently emphasized throughout?
- Are success criteria traceable to user needs and business goals?
- Does MVP scope align with the problem and solution?

### 4. Suggest Next Steps

**Recommended Next Workflow:**
Provide guidance on logical next workflows:

1. `create-prd` - Create detailed Product Requirements Document
   - Brief provides foundation for detailed requirements
   - User personas inform journey mapping
   - Success metrics become specific acceptance criteria
   - MVP scope becomes detailed feature specifications

**Other Potential Next Steps:**

1. `create-ux-design` - UX research and design (can run parallel with PRD)
2. `domain-research` - Deep market or domain research (if needed)

**Strategic Considerations:**

- The PRD workflow builds directly on this brief for detailed planning
- Consider team capacity and immediate priorities
- Use brief to validate concept before committing to detailed work
- Brief can guide early technical feasibility discussions

### 5. Present MENU OPTIONS

**Completion Confirmation:**
"**Your Product Brief for {{project_name}} is now complete and ready for the next phase!**

The brief captures everything needed to guide subsequent product development:

- Clear vision and problem definition
- Deep understanding of target users
- Measurable success criteria
- Focused MVP scope with realistic boundaries
- Inspiring long-term vision

**Suggested Next Steps**

- PRD workflow for detailed requirements?
- UX design workflow for user experience planning?

**Product Brief Complete**"

#### Menu Handling Logic:

- Since this is a completion step, no continuation to other workflow steps
- User can ask questions or request review of the completed brief
- Provide guidance on next workflow options when requested
- End workflow session gracefully after completion confirmation

#### EXECUTION RULES:

- This is a final step with completion focus
- No additional workflow steps to load after this
- User can request review or clarification of completed brief
- Provide clear guidance on next workflow options

## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

ONLY WHEN [completion confirmation is provided and workflow status updated], will you then mark the workflow as complete and end the session gracefully. No additional steps are loaded after this final completion step.
