+## [3.0.0] - 2026-08-25
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- **Daily Scrum redesigned to goal-focused inspection**: the Daily Scrum flow now revolves around the Sprint Goal. The legacy "daily update" model is removed, so clients must adopt the new Daily Scrum API and Sprint Backlog linkage model.
+- **Sprint closure gates**: Sprint Review and Retrospective must be completed before a Sprint can be closed. Automation or clients that closed Sprints directly must update their flows to complete these events first.
+- **`REVIEW` task state added**: the task workflow now includes a `REVIEW` state between the previous active states and `DONE`. Consumers of task states should account for the new transition.
+- **Role `DEVELOPER` renamed to `DEVELOPERS`**: the role identifier has changed across API payloads, permissions and UI. Clients must use `DEVELOPERS` instead of `DEVELOPER`.
+- **Data model**: consolidate and simplify the Prisma schema, merging initial migrations
+
+### Added
+
+#### Scrum Guide Compliance Enforcement
+
+- **Maximum Scrum Team size**: enforce a maximum team size (default 10) in line with the Scrum Guide's recommended team size
+- **Single Product Owner / Scrum Master**: enforce a single PO and a single SM per Scrum Team
+- **Developers-only sizing**: enforce that only DEVELOPERS may assign story points to PBIs
+- **Developers-only assignments**: enforce that tasks can only be assigned to DEVELOPERS, and only DEVELOPERS may be assigned as task assignees
+- **Developers self-management**: enforce DEVELOPERS self-management protection for task handling
+- **Task state transitions**: restrict task status changes to DEVELOPERS only
+- **Sprint Goal & DoD verification**: enforce the Sprint Goal check and Definition of Done verification during sprint execution
+- **Role permissions on active Sprint**: enforce role-based permissions for active Sprint operations
+- **Sprint cancellation**: add a Sprint cancellation feature for Product Owner
+
+#### Daily Scrum - Goal-Focused Inspection
+
