Team projects are managed with a roadmap on GitHub Projects which automates workflow and moves assigned tasks from the project’s TODO list all the way to DONE as the team works. DONE tasks are features, bug fixes or chores that have been tested, reviewed ready for production

Using Git & Github, work is done on feature branches which are created from the develop branch, not the master branch.
✔
A minimum of 3 reviewers (2 team members + the TTL) are required to review & approve a PR before it can be merged back into the develop branch.
✔
Only the TTL can merge code from feature branches into the develop, and from develop to master branches.
✔
The develop branch represents a work-in-progress view of the product and is deployed to a staging server for end-of-sprint demos and engagement. E.g wakandacart.staging.app.
✔
The master branch represents a bug-free, working version of the product, deployed to a production environment at specific checkpoints of the roadmap, i.e mid-way into and at the end of the innovation stage. E.g wakandacart.app.
