Functional Specification

Projects:

• The user can create several projects.

Issues:

• The user can create issues in the app itself (with a name and a short description).
• The user can edit issues he created in the app.
• The user can delete issues he created in the app.

Tracking:

• The user can select a project and start tracking time.
• Each time a user starts tracking the generated log entry is associated with an issues the user selects - per default it will be the last issue he tracked time for or the „default issue“ if he hasn‘t chosen or created a specific issue yet.
• The user can also create log entries by entering the time and date he started working on an issue and when he finished it.
• The user can delete existing log entries.

Report:

• The user can view all issues and all log entries to see when he spend how much time on which issue.
• The user can see summarized information about the time spent per project and issue.

External Links:

• The user can create several account links for external project management systems like GitHub, JIRA, Pivotal Tracker or similar services (design the system in way it can be expanded easily).
• The user can link each project with one project that exists in the external project management system (either by choosing an existing service link or creating a new link).
• The app will synchronize all issues of this project with the external project management system.
• The user can remove links to external project management systems and “unlink” projects from their counterpart in the external project management system.
• All log entries are exported to the external project management system - either as comments on the issue or in a similar way, depending on what possibilities the external system offers. This can either happen automatically or on explicit user request.

iCloud:

• The user can sync their data via iCloud between different iOS devices
