Team Roles (Hackathon Version) - AI/Quality Sentinel

This guide simplifies team structure for a hackathon with up to 3 people. The goal is to accelerate decisions, reduce overhead, and focus on delivering value.

Main Project Page

For the AI/Quality Sentinel overview (problem, solution, and goals), use:

• Project README (en-US)

Recommended Structure (up to 3 people)

In a hackathon, one person can take on more than one role. The distribution below works well to move the POC forward without a strict FE/BE split:

Person	Main focus	Combined roles
Person 1	Product and prioritization	Product Owner + Scrum Master
Person 2	Development (generalist)	Core implementation + integrations
Person 3	Development (generalist)	Core implementation + practical QA

Minimum Responsibilities by Workstream

1. Product and Prioritization

• Define the minimum hackathon scope (MVP).
• Prioritize backlog items by demo impact.
• Keep alignment between problem, solution, and final demo.

References:

• Product Owner
• Scrum Master

2. Core Development (Person 2)

• Implement core services and business rules for the POC.
• Integrate required data and flows for the demo.
• Ensure end-to-end functionality for critical scenarios.

Reference:

• Backend (.NET)

3. Core Development + Quality (Person 3)

• Share core implementation with Person 2 (no fixed FE/BE boundary).
• Define and run a fast quality checklist for critical flows.
• Cover the essentials with tests (or a test script) to reduce demo risk.

References:

• QA
• Frontend (React/Angular)

Contribution Map by Role

This section explains how each role can accelerate AI/Quality Sentinel in a hackathon context.

Product Owner (PO)

• Translates the quality problem into clear MVP goals.
• Defines demo success criteria (what must work to show impact).
• Keeps focus on business value and avoids scope that will not be demonstrated.

Reference:

• Product Owner

Scrum Master (SM)

• Quickly removes blockers (dependencies, pending decisions, alignment issues).
• Organizes workflow to keep the team productive with low overhead.
• Maintains a short cadence for follow-up and plan adjustment.

Reference:

• Scrum Master

Quality Assurance (QA)

• Defines a minimum quality checklist for the most critical flows.
• Validates whether MVP acceptance criteria are truly met.
• Helps reduce presentation risk with scenario-based validation.

Reference:

• QA

Backend Developer (.NET)

• Implements core services and business rules.
• Connects integrations needed to demonstrate the full cycle (intention -> execution -> standard).
• Establishes a technical foundation to scale the POC after the hackathon.

Reference:

• Backend (.NET)

Frontend Developer (React/Angular)

• Builds a minimum experience to communicate value clearly.
• Translates technical outputs into understandable views for judges and stakeholders.
• Supports the demo narrative if there is time to evolve the interface.

Reference:

• Frontend (React/Angular)

Additional Specialists (when available)

• DevOps: speeds up setup, automation, and environment stability.
• Data: improves input quality and result interpretation.
• Security: reduces exposure risks and supports good practices from the POC stage.

• Additional Specialists

Quick References for All Roles

• Product Owner
• Scrum Master
• QA
• Backend (.NET)
• Frontend (React/Angular)
• Additional Specialists

Lightweight Working Rhythm (Suggestion)

• Short daily: 10 minutes to align blockers and next tasks.
• Technical checkpoint: 1 or 2 times per day to integrate frontend + backend.
• Final review: validate the demo script and fallback plan.

What Not to Prioritize in the Hackathon

• Heavy ceremony processes.
• Broad test coverage outside critical flows.
• Large scope without demo-value validation.

Interface in the Hackathon Context

• The interface can be minimal or even replaced by API/CLI flow in the first iteration.
• Prioritize first: business rules, integrations, and proof of value working.
• If time remains, evolve the interface to improve presentation storytelling.

Current Team

• Matheus Costa Vieira - Backend Development (.NET)

Next Step

After validating this format in all language folders, keep future updates synchronized across en-US, pt-BR, and es-ES.
