Sharing my experience of working in a frontend reactjs team:

So we had one person who set the entire layout for the app, means the practices and structure we need to follow.

As soon as we got the designs from UXD, we divided up the website into various components among ourselves. I was given the task of making the middle section of the website.

After completing that I was assigned to create login/signup forms and then further adding routing as the task.

Meanwhile, other people were completing other tasks(other components) and we all had this thing going on under Github projects.

Time management was done by assigning the relevance of the component and we were asked to provide not less than 5 hours every day in order to complete profile.

There were two reviewers on our team who were looking for any sort of code conflicts while merging and reviewed the PRs.

The problem arose when one component was dependent on other...i.e unless I complete the signup form no connectivity with backend could be added! Since the backend team was way ahead and we were lagging a lot.

Better is to assign the task to one who has better skills in completing a component like I made UI components pretty fast!

Just keep communicating with the team so if they are stuck, they can pass it on to someone else or get help.

Hope it helps!!
