Our goals for Q3/2024

Validated and agreed Proof of Concept for one common frontend:

1. we prepare two jobboard pages (job offer detail and one another page) in jobs.cz, prace.cz and mojposao.hr design ✅
   1.  jobs.cz
   2. prace.cz
   3. mojposao.hr
2. we will have recommendations (approved by the architecture team) for other components teams how they should develop FE ✅

What we achieved 🎉

• We have managed to create a system for such a complicated thing ✅
• We got an approval from our team of architects that the idea is right and the system can work ✅

• We will need a permanent team to develop the system further
• Sacrificing structured development processes in order to achieve faster delivery can work only for a limited amount of time

Goals for Q4/2024

Notion document

We need to prepare the system for other developers and their code

Stabilization

1. Transform PoC into a product of our standard quality
2. Compose components for Advert Detail, Search Results Page and Homepage (Search Form not included)
3. Provide support for other platform teams
4. Together with architects, decide on proper release processes
5. Establish a new translation workflow

Word of caution from Lead Engineer

Creating frameworks is hard and much more experienced teams failed at this spectaculalry.

Problems will arise and changes in its architecture and maybe even philosophy will happen.

We are doing our best and want to deliver really solid and robust product
