+Developer Guide
+===============
+
+This document provides a quickstart for developers of the Non-RT RIC Controlpanel.
+
+The Non-RT RIC Controlpanel is an interface that allows human users to create, edit and delete policy instances, for
+each existing policy type. The policy types and their definitions are retrieved from each Near-RT RIC.
+
+See the README.md file in the nonrtric-controlpanel repo for info about how to use it.
+
+Start the Controlpanel for development
+======================================
+
+To run the control panel locally for development with simulated services, follow these steps:
+
+- Fetch the latest code from `gerrit`_
+
+.. _gerrit: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/admin/repos/nonrtric-controlpanel
+
+- Start the backend:
+
+    cd webapp-backend
+
+    mvn clean install
+
+    mvn -Dorg.oransc.portal.nonrtric.controlpanel=mock -Dtest=ControlpanelTestServer -DfailIfNoTests=false test
+
+
+- Now you can open URL:  `localhost:8080`_ in a browser to access the backend directly.
+
+.. _localhost:8080: localhost:8080
+
+Start the frontend:
+
+    cd webapp-frontend
+
+    ./ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json
+
+- Now you can open URL:  `localhost:4200`_ in a browser to access the Controlpanel.
+
+.. _localhost:4200: localhost:4200
+
+From the main page, click on the "Policy Control" card. From here, it is possible to create or list instances for each
+existing policy type.
+
+When the instances are listed, it is possible to edit or delete each instance from the expanded view.
