TeamFlow MVP Scope
1. MVP Objective
The TeamFlow MVP will prove that an organization can control the complete path from business requirement to implementation and QA verification while preserving requirement history and measuring the impact of changes.
The MVP must demonstrate the following core capability:
An approved requirement cannot be silently edited. Any later modification must create a new version and a controlled change request.
2. MVP In-Scope Modules
2.1 Authentication and User Access
The MVP will support:
- User login
- User logout
- Password management
- Active and inactive users
- Role assignment
- Project membership
- Role-based navigation
- Backend authorization
- Session expiration
- Audit recording for security-sensitive actions
Initial roles: SYSTEM_ADMIN, CTO, MANAGEMENT, PROJECT_MANAGER, BUSINESS_ANALYST, TECHNICAL_LEAD, DEVELOPER, QA_ENGINEER, VIEWER

- Respond and mark resolved
- Convert responses into official decisions
- Link decisions to requirement versions
2.7 Change Request Management
- Create change requests linked to approved versions
- Record business reason and urgency
- Identify affected modules
- Review, approve, reject, or defer changes
- Create new requirement versions from approved changes
- Preserve original approved versions
2.8 Change Impact Analysis
Capture:
- Frontend, backend, database, integration effort
- QA effort and regression testing needs
- Rework and migration requirements
- Affected sprint/release, timeline impact, risk level
2.9 Task Management
- Create epics, tasks, and user stories
- Link tasks to requirement versions
- Assign developers and sprints
- Set priority, estimates, and dependencies
- Track status: BACKLOG, READY, IN_PROGRESS, BLOCKED, CODE_REVIEW, READY_FOR_QA, DONE, REOPENED, CANCELLED
- View board and list views
2.10 QA Management
- Create and link test cases to requirements
- Execute tests and record results
- Attach evidence
- Mark tests as REVIEW_REQUIRED when requirements change
- Display requirement coverage
2.11 Defect Management
- Create defects linked to requirements, tasks, and tests
- Assign severity and priority
- Track status and resolution
- Retest and reopen defects
2.12 Release Readiness
- Create releases and add requirements, tasks, and defects

- Record approvals from QA, BA, technical, and management
2.13 Dashboards and Reports
The MVP will provide:
- Project, team, and management dashboards
- Requirement status, change request, stability, and rework reports
- QA coverage and approval bottleneck reports
- Audit export and CSV export where practical
2.14 Notifications
- In-application notifications for requirements, reviews, approvals, tasks, tests, and defects
2.15 Audit Trail
The MVP must record all important actions including login events, role changes, requirement edits, submissions, approvals, version creation, change requests, task status changes, test executions, and defect transitions.
3. Out of Scope for MVP
- Full accounting and budgeting
- Employee payroll and time-sheet billing
- Client invoicing and portal
- Advanced portfolio management
- Native mobile applications
- Multi-tenant SaaS billing
- GitHub/GitLab integration
- Slack and Microsoft Teams integration
- Advanced workflow designer
- Video meetings and source-code hosting
4. MVP Constraints
- Deployable on a modest internal server
- Work without external AI APIs
- Enforce important rules in the backend
- Approved versions must be immutable
- Audit logs must not be editable
- Local development without Kubernetes
- OCI-compatible container deployment
- Repeatable demo scenario
5. MVP Completion Criteria
The MVP is ready for pilot when:
- All critical workflows have automated end-to-end tests
- The demo scenario can be reset and replayed
- Approved versions cannot be modified
- Change requests create traceable new versions
- Tasks and tests reference requirement versions
- Role permissions are enforced
- Audit history is complete
- Critical security vulnerabilities are resolved
- Installation and pilot documentation are available
