User Stories

Detailed user stories go here using the following template:

US.X
Story	As a _______ I want to ______ so that I can ________.
Involved Actors	______
Tests	AC.1 - Acceptance test 1 AC.2 - Acceptance test 2
Priority	MVP (Must be in product), Secondary (should have if possible), Tertiary (left for a future extension of project)
Status	Proposed -> Accepted -> In Progress -> In Review -> Completed

Known Actors

The following people are expected to use the system

1. Citizen: Any member of the public, granted access to public records. They are not expected to be technically minded, nor to have any real knowledge of the types of data available to them.
2. Member: A member of any of the governing boards, produces the records, is expected to have intermediate technical ability and inherent knowledge of the types and topics of records available.
3. Admin: A user that administers and controls the backend of the system

Requirements Types

1. Functional: requirements detailing a feature of the system that can be used to obtain a goal
2. Non-functional: requirements detailing a quality of the system that is experienced as it is used.

MVP Requirements

These user stories outline the MVP (minimum viable product), or the product in a state that could be turned over to the client and used as is. Therefore these user stories are a functional subset of the final features of the product, and will be completed before work on Secondary or Tertiary user stories begins. These requirements are organized according to the following envisioned process: Data Ingestion, Data Analysis, Data Presentation

Secondary User Stories

These user stories describe features that extend or compliment those that will be found in the MVP. The goal is to either have the ground laid to implement these features in a future development, or to have them almost or completely developed by the end of the project. But they will not be implemented until the MVP is viable.
