Overview

About this plan

What's inside: A "Now/Next/Later" roadmap and a build sequence based on technical dependencies.

We audit your feature list, identify the foundation feature, and sequence your build into a clear Now/Next/Later roadmap.

Outcome

The Goal

Break the Cycle of Paralysis: Stop wondering which of your 20 features to start first. We identify the "Foundation Feature" - the one piece of logic everything else relies on.

Build by Dependency, Not Hype: We organize your project based on what the architecture needs first, ensuring you don't build a search bar before you have a database to search.

Stay in a "Shippable" State: Move from building 30% of everything simultaneously to shipping 100% of one function at a time. Each phase of your build remains deployable and functional.

Audience

Who This Is For

You're Overwhelmed by Feature ListsYou have 15+ features and they all feel important. You don’t know where to start, and every time you try, you realize you're missing a prerequisite.

You Need to Launch FastYou have a deadline for a pitch or competition. You need to know which features to cut without breaking the core value of the app.

You Want to Avoid Technical DebtYou want to ensure your database and backend are built in the right order so you don’t have to refactor everything two weeks from now.

Your Team keeps Blocking Each OtherThe frontend dev is waiting for the backend dev, who is waiting for a database schema. This roadmap aligns everyone's sequence.

Applications

Best Use Cases

Founders Launching under Pressure

Identify the "Must-Haves" to get a working version in front of users or investors in weeks, not months. Iteration is easier once you’re live.

Engineers Building Clean Architecture

Ensure your data flow is logical from Day 1. Building by dependency keeps your code modular, dry, and easy to scale.

Students Avoiding "Half-Finished" Portfolios

Recruiters want to see a working URL. It is better to show 3 fully functional features than 10 broken ones. This ensures you ship the 3 that matter.

Methodology

Why This Approach

Logic Over Impulse: Most projects fail because builders try to do everything at once. We apply Senior Engineering logic to separate core functionality from "nice-to-haves."

The "Anchor" Principle: Every app has one feature that justifies its existence. By building this "Anchor" first, you verify your concept immediately.

Continuous Deployment: By staying in a "shippable" state, you are never stuck with a half-broken app. Phase 1 works. Phase 2 works. You build confidence as you build code.

Scope Creep Protection: When you have a "Later" column, it is much easier to say "not now" to a new idea. This discipline is what actually gets projects finished.

Next Steps

What's next?

Your roadmap is sequenced. Next, move to Stage 4: The System Architect to map out the database schema and backend logic specifically for your Foundation Feature.

Process

How it works

Step 1: Dependency Analysis. We audit your features to find the technical "anchor." This is the core logic (like a listing system or tracking function) that must exist before anything else works.

Step 2: Strategic Sequencing. We stack features in an order that minimizes rework. You build in layers: Database tables first, then backend logic, then the frontend that calls it.

Step 3: MVP Extraction. We define the leanest version of your app ready for AWS. Phase 1 is your launch; everything else is moved to Phase 2, Phase 3, or the backlog.

Deliverables

What you'll get

You walk away with a clear build order that removes development paralysis. By identifying your Foundation Feature first, you ensure your architecture stays clean and you avoid the "re-write trap." You will always know what to work on today, what is coming next, and exactly when your project is ready for a live URL. You aren’t just building; you are executing a professional development roadmap.

Foundation Feature ID: The specific technical starting point that unlocks the rest of your build.

Technical Dependency Map: A guide showing exactly why Feature B requires Feature A to exist first - no more guessing.

Now/Next/Later Roadmap: A professional timeline that keeps you focused on today’s task while protecting your future vision.

Phase-Based Delivery Plan: A sequence where each phase delivers a working function, not a half-finished mess.

Shippable MVP Definition: The "line in the sand" that tells you exactly when to stop adding features and start shipping.
