Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a Manager, I should be able to create and assign tasks to employees.
• As a Manager, I should be able to track the progress of assigned tasks.
• As a Manager, I should be able to communicate with employees regarding task details.

• As a User, I should experience a world-class UI that is intuitive and visually appealing.

User Personas

• Manager: Responsible for creating, assigning, and tracking tasks. Needs a dashboard to view overall task progress and communicate with employees.
• Employee: Responsible for executing tasks assigned by the manager. Needs a clear view of tasks and the ability to update task status and communicate with the manager.

Core User Flows

• Manager creates a task -> assigns it to an employee -> tracks task progress -> communicates updates or feedback.
• Employee receives task -> updates task status -> communicates with the manager if needed.

Signature Design Concept

The homepage will feature an interactive "Task Galaxy" concept. Users will see a dynamic galaxy map where each star represents a task. Clicking on a star will open a task card with details, and dragging will rotate the galaxy to explore other tasks. Hovering over stars will highlight connections between related tasks. This interactive experience will be built using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei for a 3D effect, making the task management experience engaging and visually stunning.

Landing Hero Motion Brief

The landing page will feature a continuous motion loop illustrating the transformation of task inputs into completed outcomes. Task icons will gather around a central "task hub," visibly change as they progress, and resolve into a completed state. This will be achieved using motion/react for smooth animations, ensuring the first frame remains attractive and understandable when paused.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The intended interaction model for the landing page is "parallax," providing layered depth via scroll. Decorative layers will translate at different speeds, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the application. This approach will create a visually rich first impression, suitable for a world-class UI.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The application must be responsive and accessible on all major web browsers.
• The UI should be intuitive and easy to navigate.
• The system should support secure access control for managers and employees.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, using Alembic for migrations
• Local Orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-Side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The application will primarily serve IT companies in India, considering locale-specific defaults such as currency and timezone.
• The system will be designed to handle a moderate number of concurrent users typical for small to medium-sized IT companies.

Glossary
