⚙️ Simple 4-Step Process

From PRD to Sprint Plan in Minutes

See how SpecToStack's AI-powered workflow transforms vague requirements into concrete engineering tasks

The Complete Workflow

Four intelligent phases that bridge product and engineering

📄
STEP 1

Upload Your PRD

Start by uploading your Product Requirements Document in any format. Our AI immediately begins analyzing structure, extracting requirements, and identifying key stakeholders.

Supported Formats:
PDF, Google Docs, Notion, Confluence, Markdown, Plain Text
Processing Time:
30 seconds - 2 minutes depending on document size

AI Clarification Session

Our AI identifies ambiguities and asks targeted questions to clarify requirements. This interactive session ensures nothing is overlooked before technical design begins.

🤖 AI Questions Include:
  • Performance requirements (load, latency, concurrency)
  • Security and compliance constraints
  • Integration points with existing systems
  • Edge cases and error handling scenarios
  • Data volume and retention policies

Pro Tip: The more detailed your answers, the more accurate the architecture and task breakdown will be.

STEP 3

Architecture Generation

Based on your requirements, SpecToStack generates comprehensive system architecture including diagrams, ADRs, and technology recommendations.

📐
C4 Diagrams
Context, Container, Component
🔄
Sequence Flows
Key user journeys
🗄️
Data Models
ER diagrams & schemas
Deliverables: System diagrams, ADRs, tech stack recommendations, API contracts, database schemas

Task Breakdown & Export

The final phase converts your architecture into granular, sprint-ready tasks with dependencies, estimates, and acceptance criteria—ready to sync directly to Jira.

📋 Generated for Each Task:
  • Clear title and detailed description
  • Story point estimation
  • Priority level (P0-P3)
  • Dependencies and blockers
  • Acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then)
  • Suggested assignee based on skillset
