02 SQUAD ROSTER

Your Team

Here's your squad for today. Every perspective matters — collaborate, communicate, and have fun.

🤝

One person can wear multiple hats. The key is collaboration.

03 QUEST ASSIGNED

Your Topic

💡

This is your starting point. Feel free to narrow or expand the scope — but focus on delivering something that works.

04 STRATEGY PHASE

Make a Plan

Spend 15–20 minutes before coding. A simple plan saves hours of confusion later.

1
Define the Core

What is the ONE thing your project must do?

2
Split the Work

Who does what? Assign clear responsibilities.

3
Build & Iterate

Start small. Get something working, then improve.

🎯 CORE

Deliver First

The one thing your project must do. Everything else comes after.

⭐ BONUS

Nice to Have

Extra features only if your core is solid and working.

Simple + Working beats Complex + Broken every time.
