The end-to-end build. Slice the work into tracer bullets first, each cutting a narrow but complete path through model, migration, action, route and test, then build them one at a time off the frontier. A change too wide to slice vertically is sequenced expand, migrate, contract instead.

When to reach for it

  • Slicing the work into tracer bullets
  • Then building each slice from model through migration
  • Action
  • Route
  • Test and deploy

Covers

recommended order of operations, blocking edges between slices, the expand-contract sequence for a wide refactor.
