Implementation Plan Creation Prompt for Junior Engineers

As a junior engineer, you've been given a Product Requirements Document (PRD) for a software application. Your task is to create an implementation plan based on this PRD. Follow the steps below to develop a comprehensive and structured implementation plan.

## Step 1: Understand the PRD

1. Carefully read through the entire PRD.
2. Identify and list the main objectives of the software application.
3. Note down all the features and functional requirements.
4. Highlight any non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, security, usability).
5. Review any user stories or use cases provided.

## Step 2: Break Down the Requirements

1. For each feature or requirement:
   - Break it down into smaller, manageable tasks.
   - Identify any dependencies between tasks.

2. Create user stories for each feature if they're not already provided in the PRD.

## Step 3: Define the Implementation Phases

1. Group related tasks into logical phases or sprints.
2. Prioritize the phases based on:
   - Critical features that form the core functionality
   - Dependencies between features
   - Complexity of implementation

3. Create a high-level timeline for each phase.

## Step 4: Resource Allocation

1. List the skills required for each task.
2. Identify team members or roles needed for each phase.
3. Note any additional resources required (e.g., specific software, hardware, or external services).

## Step 5: Risk Assessment

1. Identify potential risks or challenges for each phase.
2. Propose mitigation strategies for each identified risk.

## Step 6: Testing Strategy

1. Outline a testing approach for each feature:
   - Unit testing
   - Integration testing
   - User acceptance testing
2. Define acceptance criteria for each feature based on the PRD.

## Step 7: Communication Plan

1. Propose a schedule for regular team meetings (daily stand-ups, weekly reviews).
2. Suggest methods for tracking progress (e.g., Jira, Trello).
3. Outline a plan for reporting progress to stakeholders.

## Step 8: Training and Documentation

1. Identify areas where you might need additional training or support.
2. Plan to create documentation for:
   - Code
   - System architecture
   - User guides

## Step 9: Post-Implementation

1. Propose a plan for gathering user feedback after launch.
2. Suggest a timeline for reviewing and iterating on the implemented features.

## Final Notes

- Don't hesitate to ask questions if any part of the PRD is unclear.
- Be prepared to revise your plan based on feedback from senior team members.
- Remember that this is a learning process, and it's okay if you don't have all the answers immediately.

Please use this outline to create your implementation plan. Present your plan in a clear, organized manner, using markdown formatting for better readability.
