Create a Project from a Goal

Use a goal-based project when you are planning new work.

When to use this workflow

Use this workflow when:

• You are starting a new product initiative.
• You are planning a technical change before implementation begins.
• You want to turn a high-level idea into product and engineering specs.
• You want a structured plan before tasks are created.

How it works

1. Create a new project.
2. Describe the goal in plain language.
3. Opheleon drafts the BRD.
4. Review, edit, and approve the draft.
5. Continue through PRD, HLD, and LLD.
6. Commit each document when it is ready.
7. Generate tasks from the implementation plan.

Tips for writing a strong goal

A good goal should include:

• The problem you are trying to solve.
• Who the change is for.
• What outcome you want.
• Any constraints the team should know.

Example:

Build role-based permissions so workspace admins can control which users can view, edit, and manage projects without requiring engineering support for every access change.

Create a project

The project creation flow lets you start from a goal and turn it into BRD, PRD, HLD, and LLD drafts.
