Planning & Execution

1. Delivery Strategy

TeamFlow should be developed as a sequence of complete vertical slices. Each slice must include:

  • Specification
  • UX design
  • Backend
  • Frontend
  • Database migration
  • Tests
  • Audit events
  • Documentation
  • Demo data

Principle: Avoid creating many incomplete modules at once. Ship working slices frequently.
