The project is primarily built using the Agile methodology. Each feature is planned first before development begins and developed incrementally without breaking the existing app.
This app is highly modularised. There are different packages for different screens that only contain the logic for that screen, like Activity or Fragment classes, ViewModel, Adapters, etc. Following a modularised approach makes the app scalable and less daunting to understand.
