Dependencies & Execution Order
Phase Dependencies
- Setup (Phase 1): No dependencies - can start immediately
- Foundational (Phase 2): Depends on Setup completion - BLOCKS all user stories
- User Stories (Phase 3-6): All depend on Foundational phase completion
- User stories can then proceed in parallel (if staffed)
- Or sequentially in priority order (US1 → US2 → US3 → US4)
- Polish (Phase 7): Depends on all user stories being complete
User Story Dependencies
- User Story 1 (P1): Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - No dependencies on other stories
- User Story 2 (P1): Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - No dependencies on other stories
- User Story 3 (P2): Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - No dependencies on other stories
- User Story 4 (P2): Can start after US1/US2/US3 have implementations to test
Within Each User Story
- Core styling before hover states
- Layout before typography fine-tuning
- Component implementation before page integration
- Story complete before moving to next priority
Parallel Opportunities
- All Setup tasks T001-T004 can run in parallel
- Foundational tasks T008, T009 can run in parallel
- User Stories 1, 2, 3 can be worked on in parallel after Foundational
- Visual test setup (T034-T036) can run in parallel
- All Polish tasks marked [P] can run in parallel
Parallel Example: Setup Phase
# Launch all setup tasks in parallel:
Task: "Add new type definitions in frontend/src/types/index.ts"
Task: "Create YouTube style constants in frontend/src/lib/youtube-styles.ts"
Task: "Update CSS variables in frontend/src/index.css"
Task: "Create useLocalStorage hook in frontend/src/hooks/useLocalStorage.ts"
Parallel Example: User Stories After Foundational
# With multiple developers after Phase 2:
Developer A: User Story 1 (Desktop) - T012-T020
Developer B: User Story 2 (Mobile) - T021-T026
Developer C: User Story 3 (Sidebar) - T027-T033
# Then User Story 4 (Visual Tests) once implementations exist
Implementation Strategy
MVP First (User Story 1 Only)
- Complete Phase 1: Setup (T001-T005)
- Complete Phase 2: Foundational (T006-T011)
- Complete Phase 3: User Story 1 - Desktop (T012-T020)
- STOP and VALIDATE: Side-by-side comparison with YouTube
- Deploy/demo if ready
Incremental Delivery
- Setup + Foundational → Foundation ready
- Add User Story 1 (Desktop) → Test independently → Demo (MVP!)
- Add User Story 2 (Mobile) → Test independently → Demo
- Add User Story 3 (Sidebar) → Test independently → Demo
- Add User Story 4 (Visual Tests) → Automated validation
- Polish phase → Production ready
Parallel Team Strategy
With multiple developers:
- Team completes Setup + Foundational together
- Once Foundational is done:
- Developer A: User Story 1 (Desktop)
- Developer B: User Story 2 (Mobile)
- Developer C: User Story 3 (Sidebar)
- All developers: User Story 4 (Visual Tests)
- Team: Polish phase
Notes
- [P] tasks = different files, no dependencies
- [Story] label maps task to specific user story for traceability
- Each user story should be independently completable and testable
- Commit after each task or logical group
- Stop at any checkpoint to validate story independently
- YouTube CSS values from research.md are the source of truth
- Reference screenshots in specs/002-youtube-design-preview/reference/
