Team Brainstorming Sessions

Objective

To encourage collaborative problem-solving and innovation before development begins, ensuring well-structured and scalable solutions.

Process

  • A brainstorming session is held before the development of any major feature or module.
  • Participants include developers, designers, project managers, and other relevant stakeholders.
  • The discussion focuses on:
    1. Feature Requirements – Defining the scope and functionality.
    2. Potential Challenges – Identifying technical and design bottlenecks.
    3. Best Implementation Approach – Evaluating different solutions and selecting the most efficient one.
    4. Task Breakdown & Responsibility Assignment – Structuring development into smaller tasks and assigning ownership.
  • Notes from the session are documented by the Senior Developer and Project Manager for reference. #pm-job

Feature Breakdown Guidelines

To ensure structured tracking and efficient debugging, each feature/module should be divided into with individual estimates for each step:

  1. Frontend
    • UI Implementation
      • Component Design & Development
      • Responsive Layout Implementation
      • Accessibility Compliance
      • Cross-browser Compatibility
      • UI Testing & Quality Assurance
    • State Management
      • State Architecture Design
      • Data Flow Implementation
      • State Persistence
      • Performance Optimization
      • Error Handling & Recovery
    • API Integration
      • API Client Setup
      • Request/Response Handling
      • Error Handling & Retry Logic
      • Data Transformation
      • Caching Strategy Implementation
  2. Backend
    • Data Management
      • Database Selection & Schema Design
      • Query Optimization & Performance Tuning
      • Data Security & Access Control
      • Monitoring & Maintenance
      • Database Scaling Strategies
    • Application Logic
      • Business Logic Implementation
      • Authentication & Authorization
      • Background Task Management
      • Performance Optimization
    • API and Server Management
      • API Development & Documentation
      • Server Setup & Configuration
      • CI/CD Pipeline Implementation
      • Monitoring & Maintenance

This breakdown helps in better estimation, parallel execution, and clarity on responsibilities.

Expected Outcome

  • Well-defined features with a clear development roadmap.
  • Identification of potential risks before implementation.
  • Improved collaboration between teams, leading to higher efficiency and better solutions.
