10 months ago The "Key Requirements and Constraints" section within our architecture notebook has undergone comprehensive updates to address the intricate aspects of the CountMeIn system's design and functionality:
- Enhanced Integration and Compatibility directives have been detailed, emphasizing the imperative to dovetail with both legacy infrastructures and external systems via a Private API.
- System Performance goals have been articulated, underscoring the necessity for high throughput and low latency in data handling to maintain real-time updates of occupancy status.
- Network Reliability has been established as a cornerstone requirement, vital for the seamless exchange of data between system sensors, Raspberry Pi units, and the central server.
- User Interaction parameters have been refined, specifically highlighting the role of the local graphical interface in providing immediate occupancy insights, which are critical for user decision-making processes.
- The Security and Privacy section now encompasses robust data protection measures and a comprehensive suite of emergency protocols for swift system shutdown or override by authorised personnel.
- Operational Control and Security have been appended to include the administrator's ability to remotely manage room access, furthering the system's capability to regulate space utilisation and enhance security measures.
- System Operation and Maintenance considerations have been broadened to include strategies for long-term system upkeep and the imperative to isolate hardware dependencies.
- Deployment Concerns have been addressed to ensure the system architecture is primed for both cloud and on-premises deployments, catering to diverse client security needs.
- A new section on the Admin Web Interface has been introduced, detailing the necessity for a secure, authenticated environment where room capacity can be dynamically managed, along with the incorporation of a data visualisation analytics dashboard.
Furthermore, the Architectural Framework has been refined to reflect the client-server model's pivotal role in processing and decision-making, leveraging Kafka for message brokering and SQL and Redis for data persistence.
These enhancements are crafted to fortify the CountMeIn system's structural and operational integrity. The team is encouraged to review these updates and provide further inputs where deemed necessary.

This issue encapsulates the recent improvements made to the user stories and personas associated with the CountMeIn system. The aim of these refinements is to enhance clarity, add specificity, and ensure conciseness, thereby aligning them more closely with our project objectives and user needs.
Key Improvements:
Personas: The profiles of Sofia (library patron), Dona Celeste (library administrator), and Carlos Costa (security personnel) have been updated to reflect more detailed motivations and interactions with the CountMeIn system, providing a clearer context for their roles and requirements.
User Stories: We have honed the user stories across three epics—Real-Time Occupancy Monitoring, Space Management and Optimization, and Emergency Override Protocols—to be more specific in their objectives and acceptance criteria. This includes:
Real-time occupancy information for users (Epic 1) Local display checks for space occupancy (Epic 1) Administrative controls for space optimization (Epic 2) Emergency access for security personnel (Epic 3) Emergency system shutdown capabilities (Epic 3) Acceptance Criteria: The acceptance criteria for each user story have been expanded to include detailed conditions that must be met, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the system's expected behavior and the value it provides to the users.
Outcome: These enhancements are expected to streamline the development process by providing clear, actionable guidance for the development team and aligning the system's functionalities more closely with the end-users' needs.
Next Steps: The development team is tasked with reviewing these refinements, ensuring they are in line with the project's scope, and incorporating them into the upcoming development sprints.
Note: The team is encouraged to maintain this level of clarity and specificity as we continue to iterate on the system's design and functionality.
