📝 DDPD - 🧪 TDPD - 🚀 RDPD

We have been discussing document, test, and release-driven development (doing these things first before implementing features).

This ensures the product:

• Meets the customer's needs (DDPD).
• Is quality (TDPD).
• Can be modified any time and released quickly (RDPD).

Without these, teams can quickly become buried in mundane repetitive work, bugs, and technical debt.

But perhaps the less obvious fact is these things often go undone if not prioritized from the start. Why? Because once a feature is done, there is pressure to move on to the next one. There is no time for "cleaning things up." To ensure these things happen, they must be done first.
