-TwinTrack: Group 1's startup product
\ No newline at end of file
+A small team task tracker that Group 1 (SSW 590) uses as its startup product.
+The same application is delivered by two CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions and
+Jenkins) so the tools can be compared on security, speed, and operations.
+
+## Status
+Planning. See the issues for the current backlog.
+
+## How we work
+1. Every change starts as an issue.
+2. Branch from `main` as `issue-<number>-<short-name>`.
+3. Open a pull request with `Closes #<number>` in the description.
+4. The other team member reviews and approves; then merge.
+
+## Team
+- Brahmi Dalvi — infrastructure (Gitea, cloud, CI)
+- Sakshi Deshpande — product (application, tests, documentation)
