Kira - Collaborative Tool

Introduction

Kira is a collaborative tool similar to Jira, built using the MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) stack. It facilitates seamless project management for teams, with three distinct user roles: Engineering Manager, Product Manager, and Team Member.

User Roles:

1. Engineering Manager: Responsible for creating teams, assigning Product Managers to them, and adding new team members to teams.
2. Product Manager: Can view all tickets assigned to their team, create new tickets, and assign them to team members.
3. Team Member: Can view all tickets assigned to them, update their status, and collaborate with their team.

Project Structure

The project is organized into two main folders: backend and my-app.

backend

The backend folder contains the server-side code for Kira. To run the backend, navigate to the backend folder and type npm run dev.

my-app

The my-app folder contains the frontend code, built using React. To run the frontend, navigate to the my-app folder and type npm start.

Getting Started

Follow the steps below to set up and run Kira on your local machine:

1. Clone the repository: git clone <repository-url>

3. Install dependencies for the frontend: cd my-app && npm install
4. Start the backend server: cd backend && npm run dev
