Last Updated: 2026-05-03 Owner: Docs-Dev Summary: Detailed Week 1 execution board with sequencing, checkpoints, and ownership-ready task groupings.

QuantMatrix Week 1 Execution Board

This document is the practical execution board for Week 1 of QuantMatrix.

Its purpose is to turn the first sprint milestone into: - clear ownership - daily focus - visible sequencing - measurable completion

This board assumes a small team. If you are working solo, the suggested owners can be treated as work lanes instead of separate people.

Current assignment model: - UI tasks: UI-Dev - API tasks: API-Dev - backend process and service tasks: Process-Dev - testing and validation tasks: QA-Dev - data and schema tasks: Data-Dev - operations and deployment tasks: Ops-Dev - documentation and coordination tasks: Docs-Dev

1. Week 1 Goal

By the end of Week 1, QuantMatrix should have: - stable repository structure - environment-aware configuration - structured logging - health framework - Redis and PostgreSQL connectivity - migration workflow - shared models - first-pass broker and market-data abstraction contracts

2. Suggested Owner Lanes

Recommended owner lanes:

  • Platform
  • repo structure
  • config
  • logging
  • health
  • Redis/PostgreSQL

  • migrations

  • Core Contracts

  • shared schemas
  • broker abstraction

  • market-data abstraction

  • Docs / Coordination

  • execution tracker updates
  • checklist updates
  • contract/doc alignment

If one person is doing all of this: - finish Platform tasks first - then finish Core Contracts - update docs at the end of each day

3. Week 1 Task Board

Task ID Task Suggested Owner Priority Status Depends On Done When
W1-01 Finalize repo structure Process-Dev P0 Ready None Directories and boundaries are clear
W1-02 Implement environment-aware config loader Process-Dev P0 Ready W1-01 Local, paper, live, backtest config paths are separated
W1-03 Add structured logging baseline Process-Dev P0 Ready W1-01 Logs include service, timestamp, severity
W1-04 Add API and component health framework API-Dev P0 Ready W1-01 Health endpoint returns meaningful statuses
W1-05 Add Redis connection module Process-Dev P0 Ready W1-02 Redis connectivity validates locally
W1-06 Add PostgreSQL connection module Data-Dev P0 Ready W1-02 PostgreSQL connectivity validates locally
W1-07 Add migration workflow Data-Dev P0 Ready W1-06 Initial migration applies cleanly
W1-08 Define shared domain models API-Dev P1 Ready W1-02 Shared models exist for orders, positions, signals, health
W1-09 Define broker abstraction base Process-Dev P1 Ready W1-08 Broker contract is documented and implemented
W1-10 Define market-data abstraction base Process-Dev P1 Ready W1-08 Market-data contract is documented and implemented

Follow this order:

  1. W1-01 Repo structure
  2. W1-02 Config loader
  3. W1-03 Logging
  4. W1-04 Health framework
  5. W1-05 Redis connection
  6. W1-06 PostgreSQL connection
  7. W1-07 Migration workflow
  8. W1-08 Shared domain models
  9. W1-09 Broker abstraction
  10. W1-10 Market-data abstraction

Reason: - it keeps infrastructure and runtime wiring ahead of downstream contracts - it avoids defining abstractions before the environment and shared models exist

5. Suggested Daily Breakdown

Day 1

  • W1-01 Repo structure
  • W1-02 Config loader

Day 2

  • W1-03 Logging
  • W1-04 Health framework

Day 3

  • W1-05 Redis connection
  • W1-06 PostgreSQL connection

Day 4

  • W1-07 Migration workflow
  • W1-08 Shared domain models

Day 5

  • W1-09 Broker abstraction
  • W1-10 Market-data abstraction
  • Week 1 review and cleanup

6. Daily Checkpoints

At end of each day confirm: - [ ] code runs - [ ] no unresolved blocker is hidden - [ ] docs updated if a contract changed - [ ] execution tracker status updated - [ ] tests added where appropriate

7. Week 1 Risks

Watch for: - overdesigning abstractions before real usage appears - config spreading into too many places - shared models becoming broker-specific - health/logging added too late - docs drifting from implementation during early setup

8. Week 1 Definition of Done

Week 1 is done only when: - all W1 tasks are complete or explicitly deferred - local app boot path exists - health path works - Redis and PostgreSQL connectivity are validated - migrations run - core contracts are documented - execution tracker is updated with final status

9. End-of-Week Review Questions

  • Did we keep module boundaries clean?
  • Did we make config safer or more confusing?
  • Are the shared models stable enough for Week 2?
  • What slowed us down most?
  • What should be simplified before starting local runtime work?

10. Immediate Next Step After Week 1

Once Week 1 is complete:

Start Week 2 with dry-run broker and demo market data before doing any deeper UI or strategy work.
