# MEGA SPRINT: PRO DJ ROADMAP V2
## Vision: From Track Generator to Autonomous Professional Virtual DJ
**Total Tasks: 100**

This overarching mega-sprint describes the progressive evolution of AbletonMCP-AI into a fully autonomous, professional DJ logic system capable of analyzing, mixing, transitioning, and performing full sets seamlessly. 

The roadmap is divided sequentially into functional capability arcs. Each sprint acts as a foundational block for the next.
