🎯 Success Factors

✅ What Makes Projects Successful

1. Clear Initial Requirements - Detailed idea.md with specific goals
2. Quality Reference Materials - Screenshots, examples, API docs
3. Proper GitHub Setup - Repository with CI/CD configuration
4. Active User Engagement - Participation in approval phases
5. Trust in the Process - Following all 3 phases without skipping

❌ Common Pitfalls to Avoid

1. Vague Requirements - “Build a website” vs “Build an e-commerce platform with X, Y, Z features”
2. Skipping Approvals - Rushing through phases without review
3. Ignoring Tests - Disabling automated testing
4. Manual Deployments - Bypassing CI/CD pipeline
