Team Readiness & Capacity

Current team capacity is limited with only 2 full-time developers and 1 part-time resources. This affects our ability to deliver all features simultaneously.

Team Capacity Utilization 25%
Required Skills Coverage 20%

The lack of dedicated Mobile Designer, Backend Developer and QA Engineer poses risks to the project timeline and quality. We are working to address these gaps through:

  • Frontend Lead taking on additional design responsibilities
  • Using existing web backend APIs with minimal modifications
  • Implementing more automated testing to compensate for QA limitations

Key Risks & Mitigations

⚠️
Limited Development Resources
The small team size may impact our ability to deliver all features within the timeline.
Mitigation: Prioritize core features, leverage web components where possible, and use an incremental delivery approach.
⚠️
Webview Performance Limitations
Webview components might not deliver the performance needed for complex features like video playback or conferencing.
Mitigation: Identify performance-critical components early and implement them with native code.
⚠️
RocketChat Integration Complexity
The existing RocketChat implementation may be challenging to integrate smoothly into the mobile experience.
Mitigation: Evaluate WebView vs React Native SDK approaches early. Create a proof of concept for the preferred approach before committing.
⚠️
Inconsistent User Experience
Mixing native and web components might lead to inconsistent UI/UX across different parts of the app.
Mitigation: Create a unified design system for both web and native components, with consistent patterns.
⚠️
Integration Challenges
Integration with third-party services like video conferencing or authentication might be complex.
Mitigation: Start integrations early, create POCs, and have fallback options identified.
⚠️
Skill Gaps with Intern Developer
Having a part-time intern as the primary Kotlin developer may impact code quality and development speed.
Mitigation: Implement thorough code reviews, provide additional training, and consider focusing their work on well-defined, contained tasks.

Dependencies

⚠️
Backend API Readiness
Mobile implementation depends on backend APIs being ready and stable.
Approach: Work with backend team to prioritize mobile-critical endpoints, use mocks for development.
⚠️
Video Conferencing Service Integration
Implementation timeline depends on SDK availability and support for mobile web.
Approach: Start with POC to validate integration approach, have alternative solutions identified.
⚠️
RocketChat Implementation Strategy
Need to determine the optimal approach for integrating RocketChat functionality (WebView vs React Native SDK).
Approach: Research both options, create simple prototypes to evaluate performance and UX, and select the most promising approach early.

Project Requirements

Implementation Strategy: This plan follows a hybrid approach (70% webview, 30% native) to maximize efficiency while providing optimal user experience. Requirements are categorized into delivery phases: PoC (Proof of Concept, first release), MVP (Minimum Viable Product, second release), and Future Releases.
