The "Project Checklist for AI-Driven Development" would fit as a supplementary guide that spans across all stages of the workflow, acting as a practical tool to track progress and ensure completion of tasks. Here's how it aligns with each document:
-
Product Specification Document (PSD):
- The checklist serves as a validation tool to confirm that project goals, features, and AI plans outlined in the PSD are properly executed.
- Example: "Has the PSD been reviewed and approved? Are features prioritized with clear success criteria?"
-
Technical Blueprint:
- The checklist helps verify that all technical requirements and workflows in the blueprint are implemented.
- Example: "Are architecture diagrams completed? Have frameworks and AI roles been identified?"
-
Task and Implementation Plan:
- The checklist ensures that each task is broken down, assigned, and tracked.
- Example: "Are frontend tasks for Component X completed? Is the AI integration for API Y validated?"
-
Code Review and Change Log:
- Tracks code reviews and change documentation in real-time.
- Example: "Has the AI-generated code been reviewed for bugs? Has every change been logged in the Change Log?"
-
Release and Deployment Guide:
- Ensures pre-deployment and post-deployment steps are followed systematically.
- Example: "Was the pre-deployment checklist completed? Were all live features smoke-tested?"
- Central Tracking Tool: Serves as a bridge across documents to confirm that high-level plans are realized through tangible progress.
- Accountability: Offers a clear structure to sign off on tasks and milestones, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
- Real-Time Updates: Dynamic updates to reflect project status across documents and workflows.
# Project Checklist for AI-Driven Development

- [ ] AI workflows documented and linked to tasks.
- [ ] Frameworks and libraries finalized.
## Phase 3: Implementation
- [ ] All frontend tasks completed and tested.
- [ ] Backend API endpoints deployed and validated.
- [ ] AI-generated code reviewed and optimized.
## Phase 4: Testing
- [ ] Unit tests written for all critical components.
- [ ] Integration tests validated data flow and logic.
- [ ] All test cases passed and documented.
## Phase 5: Deployment
- [ ] Pre-deployment checklist completed.
- [ ] Build and deployment executed successfully.
- [ ] Post-deployment testing completed.
## Phase 6: Documentation

- [ ] Final documents archived for reference.
- Complements Documents: The checklist ties together the high-level intent of documents (e.g., PSD) with granular, actionable steps.
- Dynamic Application: It’s updated as tasks progress, while documents remain static records.
- Improved Usability: Makes the process easier for teams or individuals to track what’s completed and what’s pending.
