# RE Workflow Management System - Executive Summary
## Project Status & Timeline
**Date:** October 23, 2025
**Project:** RE Workflow Management System (Non-Templatized)
**Target Launch:** End of December 2025
---
## ✅ What's Complete (10%)
1. **Frontend UI Extraction:** 80% complete from Figma
- All pages visually complete
- Mobile responsive (320px - 1920px)
- **But:** No functionality, just visual components with dummy data
2. **Work Notes Feature:** Partial functionality
- UI complete
- Emoji selection working
- Document selection working
- **Needs:** Backend API integration
3. **Backend Repository:** 70% setup
- Folder structure created
- Dependencies installed
- **Needs:** Database setup, API development
---
## ❌ What's NOT Complete (90%)
1. **Database:** 0% (not created yet)
2. **Redux Store:** 0% (not created)
3. **API Service Layer:** 0% (not configured)
4. **Form Validations:** 0%
5. **API Integration:** 0%
6. **Business Logic:** 0% (TAT calculations, workflows)
7. **Authentication:** 0% (SSO not integrated)
8. **All Backend APIs:** 0%
---
## 🔐 Authentication Approach
### SSO Login (RE SSO Bridge)
- **No login/signup screens needed** (SSO handles authentication)
- Users authenticate with company credentials
- Auto-sync from Active Directory
- **Frontend work:** Minimal (1.5 days)
- **Backend work:** SSO integration (2 days)
**Figma Note:** No login/signup screens in Figma (not needed for SSO)
---
## 📅 Revised Timeline (10 Weeks)
| Week | Focus | Backend | Frontend | Milestone |
|------|-------|---------|----------|-----------|
| 1 | Setup | 70% done | 80% UI done | In progress |
| 2 | Foundation | Database + ORM | Redux + API layer | THIS WEEK |
| 3 | SSO | SSO integration | SSO callback | Auth working |
| 4-5 | Workflow | Workflow APIs | Wizard integration | Can create workflows |
| 6-7 | Approvals | Approval APIs + TAT | Request pages + modals | Can approve/reject |
| 8 | Collaboration | Documents + Work notes | Connect APIs | Collaboration working |
| 9 | Analytics | Dashboard + AI | Charts + polish | All features done |
| 10 | Launch | Testing + deployment | Testing + deployment | Production! 🚀 |
---
## 🎯 Core Features
### 1. Workflow Creation (Weeks 4-5)
- 6-step wizard to create workflow requests
- Dynamic approval hierarchy (up to 10 levels)
- @mention user search for approvers/spectators
- Document upload (drag-drop, max 10MB)
- TAT calculation (working days vs calendar days)
### 2. Approval Actions (Weeks 6-7)
- Approve/reject with mandatory comments
- Multi-level approval flow
- TAT tracking with color-coded progress bars
- Automated reminders (80% TAT used)
- Breach alerts (100% TAT exceeded)
### 3. Collaboration (Week 8)
- Work notes (chat with @mentions)
- Emoji reactions
- Document preview and download
- Real-time notifications
### 4. Dashboard & Analytics (Week 9)
- Statistics and charts
- AI-powered conclusions (using OpenAI/Gemini)
- Search and filters
---
## ⚠️ Reality Check
### Common Misconception:
"Frontend is 80% done because UI is extracted from Figma"
### Reality:
- UI extraction = 20% of total frontend work
- 80% UI done = 16% of frontend complete
- Still need: Redux (20%), API integration (30%), validations (20%), testing (10%)
### Impact:
- Initial estimate: 6-8 weeks
- Realistic estimate: 10 weeks
- **Reason:** UI is just visual shell, needs 84% more work for functionality
---
## 🚨 Risks & Dependencies
### High Risk:
1. **SSO Integration:** Awaiting final confirmation and SSO details
2. **TAT Calculation:** Complex logic for working days
3. **Multi-level Approvals:** Complex state machine
4. **Backend-Frontend Sync:** Frontend blocked without APIs
### Mitigation:
1. SSO: Can build temporary standard login if delayed (3-4 days)
2. TAT: Write comprehensive unit tests
3. Approvals: Thorough testing of all scenarios
4. Sync: Daily standups, clear API documentation
---
## 💰 Resource Requirements
### Team:
- 2-3 Backend Developers (Node.js + TypeScript + PostgreSQL)
- 2-3 Frontend Developers (React + TypeScript + Redux)
- 1 QA Engineer (Week 9-10)
- 1 DevOps Engineer (Week 10)
### Infrastructure:
- PostgreSQL 16 database
- GCP Cloud Storage (for documents)
- GCP Cloud Run or VM (for hosting)
- OpenAI API (for AI conclusions)
---
## 🎯 Success Criteria
**Week 2:** ✅ Foundation complete (database, Redux, API layer)
**Week 3:** ✅ SSO authentication working
**Week 5:** ✅ Users can create workflows
**Week 7:** ✅ Users can approve/reject
**Week 9:** ✅ All features functional
**Week 10:** ✅ Production deployment
---
## 📊 Budget & Timeline
**Estimated Timeline:** 10 weeks (50 working days)
**Target Launch:** End of December 2025
**Current Progress:** 10% (Week 2 of 10)
**Confidence Level:** Medium (realistic with current team)
**Key Assumption:** SSO integration details provided by Week 3
---
## 📞 Next Steps
### This Week (Week 2):
1. **Backend:** Complete database schema setup
2. **Frontend:** Setup Redux store and API layer
3. **Both:** Ready for feature development by week end
### Immediate Requirements:
1. SSO Bridge documentation and credentials
2. Active Directory access for user sync
3. GCP project setup for storage
4. OpenAI API key for conclusions
