Thanks for the feedback. My main issues are around time planning, as stated I don't have any issue with specs. My enitre office is a white board lol (I got whiteboard paint and painted the walls) , I like your idea of pooling them and think I am going to give that a try - atleast then it should give me a clear indication of when each feature needs to be written, I can then use the estimated time per feature to generate a timeline.
