🎯 Most Valuable Project Management Conventions

💡 Organize work by priority and enable parallel execution through flexible, scalable structure

What is MVPM?

Most Valuable Project Management (MVPM) is a flexible organizational system that:

• Prioritizes work by what delivers the most value first (MVM → MVS)
• Enables parallel execution through company concepts that can be worked on simultaneously
• Scales naturally from solo developers to enterprise teams
• Integrates seamlessly with existing tools (GitHub, Jira, Linear)
• Provides context for both humans and AI during development

The core principle: Start with what's most valuable, structure only what enables parallel work.

📁 Core Organization Structure

Flexible structure based on parallel work:

issues/{area}/{AREA-CODE}-{MILESTONE-NR}-{MILESTONE-TITLE}/{AREA-CODE}-{MILESTONE-NR}-{ISSUE-TITLE}-{ISSUE-TYPE}.md

Areas enable parallel work - can be departments, teams, or any category where work can proceed independently.
