Make use of the following for collaboration with your colleagues
Will be used as the main means of communication, go ahead and introduce yourself to your teammates.
Your team has been assigned a TTL, collaborate to formulate a project and give it a name. That name will also be the name of your repo.
Collaborate with your teammates to break down your project’s development into roles. Like you have a TTL, what roles will the others play E.g UI/UX?
Collaborate with your teammates to break down your project’s features into 4 milestones then divide it into 2-week-long sprints. You will have 30 days to work on the project hence 2 sprints.
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
Use the first meeting to brainstorm and ideate your product

Project Development
Project Features
Open an Issue
Issues are created for each feature, bug fix or chore needed to deliver the product roadmap. Open issues move into the TODO
Move it To Do
In Progress
Done
Using Git & Github, work is done on feature branches which are created from the develop branch, not the master branch.
Commit messages must be semantic and adhere to the conventional commits spec.
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.
This is the Gitflow Workflow process and forms the base of streamlined delivery
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.
