Assumptions and Risks
- Timeline assumes uninterrupted availability of all 4 engineers
- Design and development estimates based on similar app complexity
- Potential risks include: scope creep, external dependencies (e.g. app store review), unforeseen technical challenges
Tracking and Communication
- Use agile methodology with 2-week sprints
- Daily standups and weekly sprint planning/review meetings
- Project tracking via Jira or Trello, source control via GitHub
- Regular demos and progress updates to stakeholders
