Concepts
The seven phases
Discovery, Architecture, UX, Build, Verify, Ship and Learn. What each NZT phase covers, and why a phase comes in only if it changes what is going to be built.
Seven phases. Not seven mandatory steps.
What each phase covers
Discovery · nzt-discovery
What to build, for whom and under which rules: requirements, business rules, specs, stories and changes to existing features.
Architecture · nzt-architecture
How to solve it: components, stack, domain model, technical design, ADRs, RFCs and diagrams.
UX · nzt-ux
Screens, flows, design system, usability review and the end-user manual as interactive HTML.
Build · nzt-build
The code, and the tests that travel with it.
Verify · nzt-verify
Design and run API or UI tests, create and clean up test data, measure performance and record evidence.
Ship · nzt-ship
Versioning, CI/CD, deployment and observability.
Learn · nzt-learn
Teach you instead of doing it for you: curriculum, lessons, exercises, assessment and spaced review.
