Development Roadmap
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.
