## Executive Summary
ColaFlow is a next-generation AI-powered project management system built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It aims to revolutionize team collaboration by making AI a first-class team member that can safely read, write, and manage project data while maintaining human oversight and control.
### Vision Statement
> "Flow your work, with AI in every loop."
### Mission
To create a platform where human-AI collaboration flows naturally, enabling AI to automatically generate and update tasks, documents, and progress reports while humans maintain decision-making authority through secure review and approval mechanisms.
### Strategic Goals
1. **AI-Native Project Management**: Enable AI tools to directly participate in project workflows
2. **Seamless Integration**: Connect ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub, Calendar, Slack, and other tools through MCP
3. **Secure Collaboration**: Provide auditable, safe, and reversible AI operations
4. **Agile Compatibility**: Support Jira-style agile methodologies (Epic/Story/Task/Sprint/Workflow)
5. **Platform Hub**: Become the central hub for development and collaboration
