Methodology¶
Stat'sTheGame was developed using a documented, evidence-driven project methodology that combines iterative Sprint planning, issue-based work tracking, Pull Request review, regular stakeholder interaction, validation and retrospective improvement.
This section explains both the methodology itself and how its use is demonstrated across the development lifecycle.

Project methodology¶
The Project Methodology defines the team's Sprint structure, planning process, issue workflow, stakeholder interaction, Definition of Ready, Definition of Done, handling of blocked or incomplete work, Sprint close-out process and methodology review.
The document is retained as the full methodology reference rather than being reproduced here.
Git methodology¶
The Git Methodology defines the repository workflow used to support the project methodology, including branch use, Pull Requests, review, integration and release practices.
Keeping the Git methodology separate from the broader project methodology makes the distinction between development-process governance and source-control practice explicit.
Methodology in practice¶
A documented methodology is useful only when it is applied consistently.
Methodology in Practice links the retained Sprint planning, stand-up, stakeholder, review and close-out records that demonstrate how the methodology was used and adapted throughout development.
Detailed decisions, validation artefacts, meeting transcripts and historical records are maintained separately under Project Records & Evidence.
