# Weekly ToDo List Roadmap

## Overview
This roadmap delivers a weekly scheduler with calendar integration in five phases. It follows a goal-backward approach where each phase defines what must be TRUE for users when completion occurs. The phases are structured around key user workflows: viewing and managing tasks, enhancing user experience, integrating with external calendars, and enabling data management.

## Phases

### Phase 1: Setup & Foundation
**Goal:** Project is initialized with core dependencies and basic weekly view functionality is established.

**Plans:** 2 plans

**Plans:**
- [x] 01-01-PLAN.md — Setup project structure and core dependencies
- [x] 01-02-PLAN.md — Create foundational components and data persistence

**Requirements:**

### Phase 2: User Experience & Advanced Features
**Goal:** Provide an intuitive and polished user experience with advanced task management features.

**Plans:** 2 plans

**Plans:**
- [x] 02-01-PLAN.md — Enhance User Experience with Advanced Features
