Initial Requirements

• A team of 3 startup co-founders needs to quickly start planning and coordinating work

• One co-founder is a software developer and will apply Scrum framework and Jira Software projects for his work and his future team

• Two other co-founders have business/legal background and plan to work in Agile mode. They asked for an intuitive interface similar to Monday.com to be built on Jira platform.

• Tech and Business stakeholders need to be on the same page and align their work around mid- and -short term goals

  • e.g. prioritize backlog based on what would be the next expected funding round and what are the key functionalities that will prove the value for the customer, etc.

• The setup should allow for tracking key startup metrics for potential investors

• Finance and accounting functionality for tracking early expenses and time invested, which will help with building cap tables in future.

OPTIONAL - Extra Sources for Workspace Ideas

1. Unified Collaboration Platform:

   • Provision for a seamless integration where all three co-founders can collaboratively plan and coordinate their tasks, ensuring no siloed operations.

2. Software Development Management:

   • Utilization of Jira Software projects to manage, track, and evaluate the progress of the software developer co-founder and his subsequent team.

3. Intuitive Workspace for Business Operations:

4. Holistic Stakeholder Alignment:

   • A holistic dashboard or view, enabling both technical and business stakeholders to stay informed and align their efforts towards both mid-term and short-term objectives.

   • Comprehensive coverage across all pivotal domains: Software Development, Finance & Accounting, Marketing & Sales, Legal, and Investor Relations.

   • A dynamic system to monitor vital startup metrics, serving as an insightful tool for potential investors and aiding in the startup's credibility and growth narrative.

6. Comprehensive Financial Management:
