Ceremonies — blueprint package
Purpose: Split methodology-neutral ceremony intent (foundation) from methodology-specific names and rules (forks)—same pattern as Roles & archetypes (archetypes = foundation; Scrum/Kanban/… = tweaks).
| Layer | File | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Ceremony foundation (methodology-neutral) | Intent types (C1–C6), phase + archetype matrices, practice suggestions per intent, principles. |
| Bridge | Methodology bridge — foundation intents ↔ named ceremonies | Crosswalk intent ↔ Scrum / Kanban / phased / XP names; blend tips; how to map your calendar. |
| Fork — Scrum | scrum.md |
Scrum events mapped to foundation intents; links to Scrum guide + Scrum Guide. |
| Fork — Kanban | kanban.md |
Kanban feedback loops and common rituals mapped to intents; links to Kanban. |
| Fork — Phased | Phased delivery ceremonies → ceremony foundation | Gates, phase reviews, formal assurance mapped to intents; links to Phased delivery. |

XP practices that behave like ceremonies mapped to intents; links to XP. |
| Fork — SAFe | safe.md |
SAFe program-level and team-level events mapped to intents; links to SAFe. |
| Fork — Lean | lean.md |

| Fork — Spiral | spiral.md |
Spiral quadrant events and anchor-point milestones mapped to intents; links to Spiral. |
| Fork — V-Model | v-model.md |
V-Model design reviews and test gates mapped to intents; links to V-Model. |

Audience: Teams using SDLC blueprint. Calendar, attendees, and tool URLs stay in the project (sdlc/, docs/), not here.
Read order: Ceremony foundation (methodology-neutral) (intents + practice suggestions) → Methodology bridge — foundation intents ↔ named ceremonies for vocabulary mapping and blends → one fork above (e.g. Scrum) for event-level detail and methodology-specific suggestions.
