HorizonReview
Keep at least one item beyond the immediate horizon in every planning cycle
Definition
Mechanism
Each planning cycle reviews at least one item on the Roadmap beyond the current horizon. If a plan has held only near-horizon items for a stated number of cycles, the contraction is recorded and the horizon is reconsidered.
Invariants
- Each planning cycle reviews at least one item beyond the current horizon.
- A plan that has held only near-horizon items for the stated number of cycles is flagged.
Risks
Failure modes
Horizon collapse
urgent work crowds out everything distant.
Distant theatre
long-range items are reviewed in name and never acted on.
