The stages the trackers use
The tracker starter and weekly plan use the same stage list as Luceria’s free application tracker, so a spreadsheet started here imports cleanly later.
Terms these resources use
Parseability, hard requirements, person specifications, STAR and other terms, each defined in a few sentences and linked to the resource that depends on it.
