Create an .NET 5 prototype with web services |
Figure: Bad example - This is a monolithic 4-day task

| Subject: |
.NET 5 prototype #1 - Create a web page with firstname and lastname textboxes, a save button |
|
|
| Subject: |
.NET 5 prototype #2 - Create a table for customer with any other fields required for this table |
|
|
| Subject: |
.NET 5 prototype #3 - Create a web service with the customer CRUD methods |
|
|
| Subject: |
.NET 5 prototype #4 - Create methods on webservice exposed to client |
Figure: Good example - The same monolithic task, broken down into 4 smaller tasks
