  • Tools for monitoring system performance and logs.
  • Access control for operator-specific tasks.

3. Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a user, I should be able to access the landing page to understand the application's purpose and navigate to other sections. required_inference
• As a user, I should be able to manage my profile and view my dashboard for personalized information. basic_default
• As an operator, I should be able to access the backend maintenance interface to manage application data and configurations. basic_default

4. User Personas

• User: Individuals accessing the application for personal use, interacting with the dashboard and managing their profiles.
• Operator: Individuals responsible for maintaining the backend and ensuring the application's smooth operation.

5. Core User Flows

User Flow
