Team goal

Turn one working Bank Ideas prototype into a shared team project. The goal is to practice how software teams contribute safely without everyone editing the same version at the same time.

Team setup

• Work in teams of 2 to 3 people.
• Choose one Bank Ideas version as the team starting point.
• Create one shared GitHub repository.
• Give each team member one feature to own.

Feature options

• Upvoting: allow employees to vote for ideas that deserve attention.
• Comments: allow employees to leave feedback or discussion under an idea.
• Idea status: add Submitted, Under Review, Approved, and Implemented states.

GitHub checklist

• Create your own feature branch.
• Build your assigned feature.
• Commit your changes with a clear message.
• Push your branch to GitHub.
• Open a Pull Request.
• Review another team member's Pull Request.
• Merge completed features into main after review.

Team rule

Do not all work directly on main. The point is to experience branches, Pull Requests, review, and merging.

Completion check

• The shared repository exists.
• Each team member contributed through a branch.
• At least one Pull Request was reviewed.
• The main branch contains the combined features.
• The app still runs after the merge.
