MVP/PostMVP - 5min

The functionality will then be divided into two separate lists: MPV and PostMVP. Carefully decided what is placed into your MVP as the client will expect this functionality to be implemented upon project completion.

MVP

-build all the html form layout

• use of ajax axios library
• Find and use external api
• Render data on page
• create html model design
• build the skeleton for html through javascript
• implement css flex design

PostMVP

• Use local storage to save user results
• add event listeners that can make the app more dynamic
• look into update features to add to the app

Time frames are also key in the development cycle. You have limited time to code all phases of the game. Your estimates can then be used to evalute game possibilities based on time needed and the actual time you have before game must be submitted. It's always best to pad the time by a few hours so that you account for the unknown so add and additional hour or two to each component to play it safe.

Component	Priority	Estimated Time	Time Invested	Actual Time
API KEYS	H	4HRS
API LOADED	H	4HRS
BUILD JS	H	8HRS
GIT COMMITS	H	2HR
HTML FORMS	M	4HRS
CSS STYLES	M	7HRS
DEBUGGING	M	5HRS
PREP PRESENT	M	2HRS
Total	35hrs
