| | Ask HN: What is your process for planning/starting a new project? | | 3 points by brentm on Jan 20, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment | | I'm a fairly experienced developer but have only worked as a solo developer on projects. I run a small company of 4 where the other employees are sales & marketing oriented. I've recently begun a project to take our current website and create more of a self service web application. When you're starting a new project, what is your planning process like? Do you go as far as to wireframe/document every screen? Do you rely on any specific tools to help plan the overall architecture? For me, Once I've settled on an idea I'll design a few flows in Sketch (usually the most important part of the project), then use MindNode to create a high level architecture (Rails controllers / actions, models) then I'll hop into the code and build out what I initially mocked up in Sketch. The process then repeats for the next major part of the project. I'd love to hear a bit about and learn from your process. |
