I can do that with boxen alright: create a project manifest, define where the source is (git repo), what the dependencies are (node version, database server), nginx configuration for the local environment (a foo.dev domain which automatically proxies to the project's web server) etc.

I doubt the upper management can set up these things, they can say that they want to start a new project X, but how exactly the dev environment will look should be, IMO, in the hands of engineers. Lots of technical decisions to be made there.

I do like the UI though.
