# Angular Boilerplate Project - Sprint Plan (Sprint 1)

## Sprint Goal

To establish the foundational architecture of the Angular Clarity Boilerplate, including setting up the core project structure, integrating the Clarity Design System, implementing the main responsive layout, and creating a clear, documented starting point for developers.

## Sprint Duration

[Assumed: A focused 1-week sprint to deliver the core boilerplate MVP.]

## Team Capacity

[Assumed: Full developer availability for the sprint duration.]

## Product Backlog Items (Developer Stories) for Sprint 1

1.  **User Story: Quick Project Initialization**
    * **As a developer, I want to clone the repository and run `npm install` and `ng serve` to get a live development server running, so that I can bypass manual setup and start building features immediately.**
    * **Acceptance Criteria:**
        * The project is initialized using the latest stable Angular CLI.
        * All necessary dependencies are defined in `package.json`.
        * The application compiles successfully without errors.

2.  **User Story: Scalable Architecture Foundation**
    * **As a developer, I want a well-defined modular structure (`Core`, `Shared`), so that I can build a scalable and maintainable application.**
    * **Acceptance Criteria:**
        * A `CoreModule` is created for singleton services and one-time imports.
        * A `SharedModule` is created for reusable components, directives, and pipes.
        * The `AppModule` is cleanly organized and imports the necessary foundational modules.

3.  **User Story: Clarity Design System Integration**
    * **As a developer, I want a responsive application layout built with the Clarity Design System, so that I have a professional and consistent UI foundation.**
    * **Acceptance Criteria:**
        * Clarity dependencies are added and correctly configured.
        * The main `AppComponent` uses Clarity components for the header, sidebar navigation, and main content area.
        * The layout is responsive and functions correctly on desktop, tablet, and mobile screen sizes.

## Sprint Tasks (Derived from User Stories)

### Architecture & Setup Tasks:
-   **Task:** Initialize a new Angular project using the Angular CLI.
-   **Task:** Clean up default boilerplate files and structure the project directories.
-   **Task:** Create the `CoreModule` and ensure it is imported only once in the `AppModule`.
-   **Task:** Create the `SharedModule` with common exports (`CommonModule`, `FormsModule`, etc.).
-   **Task:** Set up the main `AppRoutingModule` with a default route.
-   **Task:** Configure environment files (`environment.ts`, `environment.prod.ts`) with a placeholder for an API base URL.

### Clarity Integration Tasks:
-   **Task:** Install `@clr/angular`, `@clr/ui`, and `@cds/core` npm packages.
-   **Task:** Configure `angular.json` to include Clarity's global CSS files and assets.
-   **Task:** Implement the main application layout in `app.component.html` using `<clr-main-container>`, `<clr-header>`, and `<clr-vertical-nav>`.
-   **Task:** Add placeholder navigation links in the vertical navigation sidebar.
-   **Task:** Ensure the Clarity icons are properly loaded and can be used within the application.

### Documentation & General Tasks:
-   **Task:** Create the initial `README.txt` file with project setup instructions.
-   **Task:** Write inline comments for the `CoreModule` and `SharedModule` explaining their purpose.
-   **Task:** Set up basic linting rules in `.eslintrc.json` to enforce code quality.
-   **Task:** Configure the `.gitignore` file to exclude unnecessary files from version control.

## Definition of Done (DoD) for Sprint 1

-   All selected user stories are implemented and meet their acceptance criteria.
-   The boilerplate can be successfully set up and run by another developer following the `README.txt`.
-   The core architecture (`CoreModule`, `SharedModule`) is in place.
-   The main application layout using Clarity is implemented and responsive.
-   All code is reviewed, formatted, and merged into the main branch.
-   No known critical bugs or console errors in the initial boilerplate.

## Potential Impediments

-   Issues with Clarity dependency versions or peer dependencies.
-   Unexpected complexities in configuring Clarity's global styles with the Angular CLI.
-   Difficulties in achieving the desired responsive behavior with the Clarity layout components.

## Next Steps

-   Daily stand-ups to track progress and identify any blockers.
-   Prepare for Sprint 2, which will focus on adding example feature modules, advanced routing (lazy loading), and more complex Clarity component examples.
-   Sprint Review at the end of the sprint to demonstrate the working boilerplate.
-   Sprint Retrospective to refine the development process.
