developmentheavy

developmentheavy refers to a phase in software or product development characterized by a significant allocation of resources and effort towards core functionality, engineering, and technical implementation. This stage often follows initial research, planning, and design phases, and precedes extensive testing, marketing, and deployment. During developmentheavy periods, teams are typically focused on building the underlying architecture, writing code, integrating components, and resolving technical challenges. The emphasis is on turning conceptual designs and specifications into a working product. Key activities include coding, unit testing, debugging, and continuous integration. Success in this phase is often measured by the progress in feature completion, code quality, and the stability of early builds. It can also involve significant iteration as technical requirements and solutions are refined. The term suggests a concentrated burst of intensive development work.
