1 Introduction
This document is used for the release: 1.0 for the web based software: Portfolio Management
System. It specifies the services offered by the software and constraints under which it will
operate. The document contains all the information that is needed to develop the project i.e. all
kinds of user requirements that are required to make this project successful.

1.1 Document Purpose

The document contains the information regarding the Portfolio Management System. The SRS
covers all of the requirements that are needed to complete the project. It will be the first release of
the system.
The purpose is to create a computerized system that will transform the whole rigorous job of
creating and managing the portfolios to a trouble-free job that will be gripped in a compact and
efficient manner. The system that is to be developed in this release will cover all of the
requirements needed to complete this project. The software will be providing registration system
for professionals, profile creation, and search system to search for the professionals based on
their skills, education, name etc.

1.2 Product Scope

A web based system for portfolio & CV management is being proposed. It will enable the
professionals from all over the world to create an online portfolio including their educational
details, contact details and projects that they have worked on. The system would enable the
contractors to search the professionals from our website using either the category wise
distribution system, by a specific project name that they have worked on, by name, by the
keywords/tags that professionals have included etc. After finding a specific professional of his
need, a contractor can contact a professional either through our website or the contact details
that he has provided.
Currently there does not exist any website providing such functionality and we hope that the
website will do a good business. It will benefit the professionals in a way that, they dont have to
develop a whole website for their portfolio; they can easily maintain an online portfolio on our
website. On the other hand, it will also help the contractors as well i.e. in finding the employees
easily.

documentation writers. The purpose of this document is to serve as a guide to designers,
