🚀 Quick Start
Step 1: Read the Overview
Start with 00-MVP-OVERVIEW.md to understand:
- MVP scope and objectives
- Development approach (Walking Skeleton + Vertical Slices)
- Story dependencies
- Timeline estimates
Step 2: Setup Your Environment
Follow 01-TECHNICAL-SETUP.md to:
- Install prerequisites (Java 17+, Node.js 18+, PostgreSQL 16, Docker)
- Setup Spring Boot backend project
- Setup Angular 18 frontend project
- Configure Docker Compose for local development
- Understand project structure and conventions
Step 3: Start Development
Begin with Story 0 (Foundation) and follow the story sequence:
Story 0: Foundation (Walking Skeleton)
↓
Story 1: Business Units
↓
Story 2: Applications
↓
Story 3: Contacts (can be parallel with Story 4)
↓
Story 4: Environments (enhancement)
↓
Story 5: Versions
↓
Story 6: Deployments
↓
Story 7: Current State & History
📋 Story Structure
Each story follows a consistent structure:
- Story Overview: Business value and objectives
- Scope: What's in and out of scope
- Technical Implementation: Detailed backend and frontend tasks
- Acceptance Criteria: Testable requirements
- Testing Scenarios: Step-by-step test cases
- Definition of Done: Checklist before considering story complete
🎯 MVP Scope Summary
What's Included in MVP
✅ Core Domain
- Application management with lifecycle tracking
- Business unit organization
- Environment management (flexible, production-ready)
- Version tracking
- Deployment recording and history
- Current deployment state queries
✅ User Management
- Local authentication (JWT-based)
- Basic role-based access control (ADMIN, USER)
- User registration and login
✅ Contact Management
- Contact roles (Product Owner, Developer, etc.)
- Person management
- Contact-Person associations
✅ Reporting & Analytics
- Deployment dashboard
- Deployment history and timeline
- Statistics and charts
- Export to CSV/Excel
What's NOT in MVP (Phase 2)
❌ External dependencies tracking
❌ Data usage agreements
❌ SLA management
❌ Technical documentation links
❌ OAuth integration
❌ Advanced notifications
❌ Deployment approval workflows
❌ CI/CD integration

⏱️ Timeline Estimate
| Phase | Duration | Stories |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 0: Foundation | 2-3 weeks | Story 0 |
| Phase 1: Core (Batch 1) | 3-4 weeks | Stories 1-4 |
| Phase 1: Core (Batch 2) | 3-4 weeks | Stories 5-7 |
| Total MVP | 8-11 weeks | 8 stories |
Based on 1 full-time developer or 2 part-time developers

-
Functional Completeness
- All 8 stories delivered and accepted
- All acceptance criteria met
- Zero critical bugs
-
Technical Quality
- Backend test coverage > 80%
- Frontend test coverage > 70%
- All APIs documented in Swagger
- Code passes security review
-
User Satisfaction
- Users can perform core workflows without training
- System performance < 500ms API response
- Positive feedback from pilot users
-
Business Value
