PROBLEM STATEMENT

Develop a web-based project management tool for software development

teams to collaborate, track progress, and manage tasks.

Software Requirement Specification (SRS):

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose

This Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document defines the functional and
non-functional requirements for the development of a web-based project management
tool. The primary goal is to provide a comprehensive platform for software development
teams to collaborate, track progress, and manage tasks effectively.

1.2 Scope

The web-based project management tool will facilitate:

-Collaboration: Allowing team members to work together on projects through

communication and file-sharing features.

- Progress Tracking: Providing tools to monitor task progress, project timelines, and
milestones.

- Task Management: Enabling the creation, assignment, and management of tasks

within projects.

- Project Management: Offering capabilities to create and manage projects and assign
team members.

2. Functional Requirements
2.1 User Management

2.1.1 User Registration and Authentication

- Registration: Users must be able to sign up with a valid email address and password.

- Authentication: Implement login functionality with secure password hashing and

support for multi-factor authentication (MFA).

- Forgot Password: Users should be able to reset their passwords via email.
- 2.1.2 User Roles and Permissions

- Roles: Define roles such as Admin, Project Manager, Developer, and Viewer.

- Permissions: Set permissions based on roles, e.g., Admins can manage all projects
and users, while Developers can only view and manage their assigned tasks.

2.2 Project Management

- 2.2.1 Create, Edit, and Delete Projects

- Create: Users with appropriate permissions can create new projects with a name,
description, and initial settings.

- Edit: Users can update project details such as name, description, and settings.

- Delete: Authorized users can delete projects, with confirmation prompts to prevent
accidental deletion.

- 2.2.2 Assign Team Members to Projects

- Assign: Project Managers can invite users to join projects and assign roles within the
project.

- Manage Members: Project Managers can update member roles or remove users from
the project.

2.3 Task Management

- 2.3.1 Create, Edit, and Delete Tasks

- Create: Users can create tasks with a title, description, due date, priority, and
associated project.

- Edit: Users can modify task details, including title, description, due date, and priority.

- Delete: Users with appropriate permissions can delete tasks, with confirmation
prompts to prevent accidental deletion.
- 2.3.2 Assign Tasks to Team Members

- Assign: Users can assign tasks to team members, specifying deadlines and priorities.

- Reassign: Tasks can be reassigned to different team members as needed.

2.4 Progress Tracking

- 2.4.1 Track Task Progress and Completion

- Status Updates: Users can update the status of tasks (e.g., To Do, In Progress,
Completed).

- Completion Metrics: Display metrics on task completion, including percentages and

completion dates.

- 2.4.2 Display Project Timelines and Milestones

- Gantt Chart: Provide a Gantt chart view to display project timelines and task
dependencies.

- Milestones: Allow users to define and track project milestones and critical deadlines.

3. Non-Functional Requirements

3.1 Security

- 3.1.1 Data Encryption and Access Controls

- Encryption: Encrypt sensitive data both in transit (using TLS) and at rest.

- Access Controls: Implement role-based access controls to ensure that users can
only access data and features relevant to their roles.

- 3.1.2 Regular Security Updates and Patches

- Updates: Regularly update the software to address security vulnerabilities.

- Patches: Apply security patches promptly to safeguard against threats.

3.2 Usability

- 3.2.1 Intuitive Interface and Navigation

- Design: Ensure the interface is user-friendly with a logical navigation structure.

- Responsiveness: The application must be responsive and accessible on various

devices (desktop, tablet, mobile).

- 3.2.2 User Documentation and Support

- Documentation: Provide comprehensive user manuals, online help, and FAQs.

- Support: Offer customer support channels such as email, chat, or phone.

4. System Requirements

4.1 Hardware

- 4.1.1 Server and Storage Requirements

- Server: Specify the server requirements, including CPU, RAM, and storage capacity
based on expected usage and load.

- Storage: Ensure sufficient storage for data and backups, including scalability options.

- 4.1.2 Network and Infrastructure Requirements

- Network: Ensure adequate network bandwidth and redundancy to handle traffic and
maintain performance.

- Infrastructure: Use reliable infrastructure providers to ensure uptime and availability.

4.2 Software

- 4.2.1 Operating System and Database Requirements

- Operating System: Specify supported operating systems for server and client-side
(e.g., Linux, Windows).

- Database: Define the database requirements, such as SQL or NoSQL options, and
versions.
- 4.2.2 Compatibility with Existing Software Tools

- Integration: Ensure compatibility with existing tools such as version control systems
(e.g., GitHub) and communication platforms (e.g., Slack).

5. Assumptions and Dependencies

5.1 User Adoption

- 5.1.1 User Acceptance and Feedback

- Adoption: Assume that user acceptance will depend on ease of use and feature set.

- Feedback: Regularly collect user feedback to guide future improvements and ensure
satisfaction.

5.2 Data Accuracy

- 5.2.1 Reliability of User-Inputted Task Data

- Accuracy: Assume that users will provide accurate and timely data; however,
implement validation checks to minimize errors.

6. Success Metrics and Acceptance Criteria

6.1 User Engagement

- 6.1.1 Active User Base and Retention Rate

- Metrics: Track the number of active users and the retention rate over time.

- Targets: Set specific targets for user engagement to evaluate success.

6.2 Project Completion Rate

- 6.2.1 Increase in Project Completion Rate

- Metrics: Measure the rate of project completion before and after tool
implementation.

- Targets: Define goals for improvement in project completion rates as a result of using
the tool.

This expanded SRS provides a comprehensive blueprint for developing the web-based
project management tool, ensuring all requirements are detailed and clear.
