+

Rationale for Phased Approach

+ +

The phased approach to project implementation is designed to ensure a structured, manageable, and systematic process for developing a website project. By dividing the project into distinct phases, learners can focus on specific tasks and objectives, making it easier to track progress, identify issues, and achieve high-quality results. This methodical approach allows for iterative development, regular testing, and refinement, ensuring that the final product meets all specified requirements and standards.

+ +

Phase 1: Ideation & Initial Setup

+ +

Description

+

In this phase, the primary goal is to lay a solid foundation for the project by defining its purpose, audience, and design. This involves brainstorming ideas, creating user stories, and setting up the project environment.

+ + +

Expected Outcomes

+ + +

Phase 2: Must User Stories Implementation & Testing

+ +

Description

+

This phase focuses on implementing the core functionality of the website as outlined in the Must user stories. It involves coding essential features, validating code, and ensuring visual and functional alignment with initial plans.

+ + +

Expected Outcomes

+ + +

Phase 3: Should User Stories Implementation & Advanced Features

+ +

Description

+

In this phase, advanced features and enhancements are added based on Should user stories. This includes implementing interactive elements, refining design, and completing comprehensive documentation.

+ + +

Expected Outcomes

+ + +

Phase 4: Final Testing, Debugging & Deployment

+ +

Description

+
