Pulse App - Product Requirements Document

Overview

Product Name: Pulse App Version: 1.0 Last Updated: December 25, 2025 Author: Real Dev Squad

Vision

Pulse App is an internal dashboard for Real Dev Squad (RDS) admins and members to monitor team activity, track availability, and maintain visibility into task progress across the organization.

Problem Statement

Managing a distributed developer community requires visibility into:

  • Who is available vs. out of office
  • Task progress and blockers
  • Activity patterns and engagement levels

Currently, this information is scattered across multiple tools, making it difficult for admins to get a quick "pulse" of the team.

Target Users

User Type Description
Super Admins Full access to all features, user management, and configurations
Admins Can view all members, manage OOO, and track tasks
Members Can update their own status, view team availability

Core Features

1. OOO (Out of Office) Tracker

Description: Display and manage team members' availability status.

Requirements:

  • Calendar view showing who is OOO on any given day
  • List view of currently OOO members
  • Ability for members to set their OOO dates (start/end)
  • Reason/notes field for OOO (optional)
  • Visual indicators (badges, colors) for availability status
  • Integration with existing RDS member data

User Stories:

  • As an admin, I want to see who is OOO today at a glance
  • As a member, I want to set my OOO dates in advance
  • As an admin, I want to see the OOO calendar for the entire month

2. Task Status Tracker

Description: Track the last movement/update on tasks assigned to members.

Requirements:

  • Display last task status change per member
  • Show time since last status update (e.g., "2 days ago")
  • Highlight stale tasks (no movement for X days - configurable)
  • Filter by task status (In Progress, Blocked, Under Review, etc.)
  • Link to the actual task in the task management system

User Stories:

  • As an admin, I want to see which members haven't updated their tasks recently
  • As an admin, I want to identify blocked tasks quickly
  • As a member, I want to see my task history at a glance

3. Progress Updates

Description: Detailed progress tracking and updates per task.

Requirements:

  • Progress log/timeline for each task
  • Ability to add progress notes
  • Percentage completion indicator (optional)
  • Daily/weekly standup-style updates
  • Aggregated progress reports

User Stories:

  • As a member, I want to log my daily progress on a task
  • As an admin, I want to see a timeline of updates for any task
  • As an admin, I want weekly progress summaries

4. Admin Dashboard

Description: Central hub for RDS group management.

Requirements:

  • Overview metrics (active members, OOO count, active tasks)
  • Member activity heatmap
  • Alerts for inactive members (configurable threshold)
  • Quick actions (send reminder, assign task, etc.)
  • Export data (CSV, PDF reports)

User Stories:

  • As an admin, I want to see key metrics at a glance
  • As an admin, I want to identify inactive members
  • As an admin, I want to generate reports for leadership

Technical Requirements

Authentication & Authorization

  • Secure session handling
  • Audit logs for admin actions

Non-Functional Requirements

Requirement Target
Availability 99.5% uptime
Response Time < 500ms for API calls
Browser Support Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (latest 2 versions)
Mobile Responsive design, mobile-friendly
Accessibility WCAG 2.1 AA compliance

Success Metrics

Metric Target
Admin daily active usage > 80%
Member OOO compliance > 90% set their OOO
Task update frequency < 3 days average between updates
Time to identify blockers < 1 day

Milestones

Phase 1: MVP

  • User authentication
  • OOO tracker (basic)
  • Task status display
  • Basic admin dashboard

Phase 2: Enhanced Tracking

  • Progress updates feature
  • Advanced filtering and search
  • Notifications/alerts

Phase 3: Analytics & Integrations

  • Contribution analytics
  • External integrations (Discord, Slack)
  • Reporting and exports

Open Questions

  1. What is the source of truth for task data? (Custom API, Jira, GitHub Issues?)
  2. Should OOO data sync with Google Calendar or be standalone?
  3. What notification channels should be supported? (Email, Discord, Slack?)
  4. What is the member count to plan for scalability?
