Your role
You're the developer (in this game).
Your goal
Put the team's workflow steps in order.
What you know
- Teams use version control (like Git): each change lives on its own branch until it is reviewed and tested.
Limits
- Nobody pushes straight to the main branch.
Success looks like
- Safe branch — Your work stayed apart until ready.
- Tested — Tests ran before the merge.
- Reviewed — A teammate checked it before it went in.
Skills you used
- Planning — Turning a goal into steps.
- Communication — Saying things clearly and kindly.
In real life
Almost every software team works like this, with tools such as Git, GitHub or GitLab. Automatic tests and code review catch many bugs before users ever see them.
