Idea: Trello for deal(s)

Description

This project would involve creating a simple Kanban-style project management tool tailored for managing business deals and opportunities. The Minimum Viable Product (MVP) could include boards for different stages of a deal (e.g., 'Lead', 'Negotiation', 'Closed Won', 'Closed Lost'), cards for individual deals that users can drag and drop between stages, and the ability to assign team members to specific deals. Users could also add notes, due dates, and relevant documents to each deal card. To minimize development time, the MVP could be a web application with minimal integrations, focusing on basic functionalities to test user interest and gather feedback.
