Paved Roads Guide

When To Use Paved Roads

Paved roads are opinionated, optional workflow packs. They reduce decision fatigue without removing escape hatches.

Best Use

  • new feature delivery
  • bugfix with QA follow-up
  • legacy modernization slices
  • long-running bounded execution

Common Pitfalls

  • treating every path as equally recommended
  • staying on a paved road after the context no longer fits
  • ignoring harness limits the road depends on
