Process for end-to-end development - weekly project checklist?

[iteles]

As per https://github.com/dwyl/hq/issues/434, we have processes spread across multiple different repositories, but one thing we don't have is a checklist for things we're making sure we're doing throughout a whole project.

We have creating a repository #29 and the general process for working with issues and making changes (this whole repo, https://github.com/dwyl/labels) and we even have processes for agile scum mastering and ceremonies (https://github.com/dwyl/process-handbook though these are in need of a substantial update).

But we're missing a clear and concise checklist of the markers of a good project in terms of development, the concepts that apply to a project as a whole that make up 'the dwyl way'. This is somewhat linked to #28 but is wider than that.

My suggestion is that we:

• Have a 'living' checklist of ongoing things that need to be done for each project
• Have a readme for each item on the project
• An issue is opened in each project with this checklist during setup and must be reviewed weekly to ensure we are keeping standards to where they need to be by having everything ticked

Note: This will not ensure code quality, we need another issue/readme on this (linked to #32)

For illustrative purposes, here is the kind of thing I would suggest be included in this checklist, which we don't really have documented in a clear way as must-dos (in typical @nelsonic fashion, we have detailed tutorials on most of these already), but are the hallmarks of a dwyl project:

• Documentation - document-driven development, understanding what goes into the readme How/where/what to document #69
• Testing
• Coverage expectations & usage of tools like Codecov or Istanbul
• CI
• Reusability of components rather than one-off code Extending "PETE" with Reusable Components So We Can Build People-Centric Standards-Compliant Data-Driven Apps Easier/Faster/Reliably technology-stack#67
• Markers of code maintainability
• Benchmarking
• Metrics driven requirements
