description: GuruRMM ideas go into the "RMM Thoughts" backlog (docs/RMM_THOUGHTS.md); pipeline thought -> discuss -> spec -> roadmap; both Mike and Howard contribute.
metadata:
  type: feedback
---

When Mike or Howard raises a GuruRMM idea — or says "rmm thought: <x>", "add to rmm
thoughts", or "park this (as an rmm thought)" — append it to
`projects/msp-tools/guru-rmm/docs/RMM_THOUGHTS.md` with who/when and **Status: Raw**.
Do NOT start building; ideas advance only by an explicit decision through the pipeline:

  Raw -> Discussed -> Spec'd (`/shape-spec` -> `specs/<slug>/`) -> Roadmapped
  (`docs/FEATURE_ROADMAP.md`) -> Done.

Howard's `/feature-request` items should land here too. As a thought advances, update
its Status line and link the spec folder / roadmap entry.

**Why:** Mike wants ONE shared backlog to collect RMM ideas from both techs, then chat
them through, turn them into specs, and add them to the roadmap — rather than ideas
getting lost in chat or scattered across todos.

**How to apply:** the doc is the canonical home (commit changes to the gururmm repo).
Pair a new thought with a coord todo tagged "PARKED (design)" / project `gururmm` for
fleet visibility, like the existing ones. Established 2026-06-08 (renamed from the
