# PRD: AquaFlow SaaS - Project Management & Collaboration Platform (Sample A)
|
|
|
|
## 1. Overview
|
|
AquaFlow is a cloud-based project management and collaboration platform for small-to-mid sized teams. The product focuses on a clear drag-and-drop workflow, fast onboarding, and reliable task visibility.
|
|
|
|
### 1.1 Goals
|
|
- Provide an intuitive, low-friction task management experience.
|
|
- Reduce time-to-adoption for non-technical teams.
|
|
- Enable teams to track work status at a glance.
|
|
- Offer consistent UX patterns for common actions (create, edit, assign, comment).
|
|
|
|
### 1.2 Non-Goals
|
|
- Deep enterprise portfolio management (PPM).
|
|
- Native desktop apps in v1.
|
|
- Complex time tracking or billing features.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Target Users
|
|
- Team leads and project managers at SMBs.
|
|
- Cross-functional team members needing lightweight collaboration.
|
|
- Ops and marketing teams with frequent task handoffs.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Problem Statement
|
|
Existing tools are either too complex or too lightweight. Teams need a balanced product that combines clarity, speed, and just enough structure to manage tasks without heavy process overhead.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Key Use Cases
|
|
1) Create projects and define task boards.
|
|
2) Add tasks with priority, assignee, and due date.
|
|
3) Drag tasks across columns to update status.
|
|
4) Collaborate via comments and mentions.
|
|
5) Track progress with basic metrics (task counts, completion rate).
|
|
|
|
## 5. Core Features (MVP)
|
|
### 5.1 Projects
|
|
- Create and manage multiple projects.
|
|
- Project members and roles (Owner, Editor, Viewer).
|
|
|
|
### 5.2 Task Board (Primary)
|
|
- Columns: Backlog, In Progress, Review, Done.
|
|
- Drag-and-drop task movement.
|
|
- Quick add tasks inline.
|
|
|
|
### 5.3 Task Details
|
|
- Title, description, assignee, due date, priority.
|
|
- Comment thread with @mentions.
|
|
- Activity log (created, moved, updated).
|
|
|
|
### 5.4 Search and Filter
|
|
- Search by title/assignee.
|
|
- Filter by status, priority, due date.
|
|
|
|
### 5.5 Notifications
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
- Primary workflow centered around drag-and-drop board.
|
|
- Clear visual hierarchy for task status.
|
|
- Consistent button hierarchy and feedback patterns.
|
|
- Accessibility: readable typography, keyboard focus states, sufficient contrast.
|
|
|
|
## 7. Data Model (High-Level)
|
|
- User: id, name, email, role
|
|
- Project: id, name, members
|
|
- Task: id, title, description, status, assignee, priority, due_date
|
|
- Comment: id, task_id, author_id, body, created_at
|
|
|
|
## 8. Metrics & Success Criteria
|
|
- Activation: user creates first project and adds first task.
|
|
- Engagement: weekly active users, tasks created per user.
|
|
- Retention: 4-week retention rate.
|
|
- Usability: time to complete a basic workflow (create -> assign -> move).
|
|
|
|
## 9. Risks & Mitigations
|
|
- Risk: onboarding friction.
|
|
- Mitigation: default templates and guided tips.
|
|
- Risk: inconsistent UX patterns.
|
|
- Mitigation: design system and tokenized UI.
|
|

|
|
- Mitigation: search and filters in MVP.
