Overview
This document explains how team members and clients interact during a project lifecycle. Our system is deployed in the cloud (e.g., AWS), and testing, feedback, and updates follow a structured process to ensure clarity and efficiency.
We aim to maintain clear communication: I act as the bridge between the development team and clients, ensuring smooth coordination and feedback flow.
Roles and Responsibilities
1. Project Manager / Coordinator (You)
-
Acts as the main bridge between the development team and the client.
-
Coordinates deployment schedules, testing, and updates.
-
Collects feedback from testers and relays it to the developers.
-
Ensures that timelines are met and communication is clear.
2. Cloud Deployment / Infrastructure Team
-
Responsible for deploying the system on cloud platforms (e.g., AWS).

4. Testers / QA Team
-
Access the deployed system and perform functional, usability, and performance testing.
-
Document any issues, bugs, or inconsistencies observed during testing.
-
Provide clear feedback reports to the project manager.
-
Verify fixes and updates after developers implement changes.
5. Client / End User (Optional)

Workflow Summary
-
Deployment:
-
Cloud team deploys the system on AWS.
-
Access details are shared with testers and the project manager.
-
-
Testing:
-
Testers access the system, perform tests, and document feedback.
-
Any critical issues are reported immediately to the project manager.
-
-
Feedback & Updates:
-
Project manager collects feedback and sends it to developers.
-
Developers fix issues, improve features, and send updated builds.
-
-
Verification & Approval:
-
Testers verify the fixes.
-
Once confirmed, the project manager communicates to the client.
-
-
Iteration:
-
Steps 2–4 repeat until the system meets quality and client requirements.
-
This structure ensures clarity, accountability, and smooth communication. Each member knows exactly what they are responsible for, while the project manager serves as the central point of contact for coordination.
