Hi Guys, Thanks for having me. Great to see a bunch of people working towards this good cause.
Take a look at https://www.productplan.com/glossary/acceptance-criteria/.
This approach is very effective at describing the requirement. We can start from a simple one and then build it up. Are we using any task tracker at the moment? Where do we keep these information? @jaye @akshika47

[akshika47]

Thank you @pramodya.

We had a Trello board for a previous project but I don’t know if there is a new board for the tech team. @piumal1999 is there one?

We also have GitHub repo, but not much project management going on there.

We normally keep the conversations here. @techTeam any suggestions? We can revamp the old Trello board.

There’s a trello board for tech team. But it was not used often after migrating to hive.

[akshika47]

So where do we store important documents required? as what @pramodya shared.

Yeah, we need to reuse that Trello board. @Gimhan_minion Could you please restructure the existing board?
