System Requirements Document for copper-management

1. Introduction

The copper-management project aims to create a project management dashboard that enables the handling of projects across all clients. The primary audience for this product is project managers who need a systematic tool to organize and manage client-related projects efficiently.

2. System Overview

The copper-management system is a project management dashboard designed to provide project managers with a comprehensive view and control over projects and client interactions. It includes features for managing projects across all clients, viewing and coordinating client-related project information, and maintaining durable records. The system is designed with a focus on usability and systematic design, inspired by the Rasmus Andersson muse.

2a. Product Interpretation and Delivery Boundary

The system will be delivered as a web application with custom UI components. It requires application-owned identity for project managers to access and manage project and client records. The system includes a public entry point, a login mechanism for identity verification, and several authenticated pages for project and client management. The system does not include adjacent capabilities such as detailed financial management or third-party integrations beyond the scope of project and client record management.
