A web application for agile project management along with time tracking ability.
Description
Challenge : An IT company manages multiple projects and needs a centralized system for tracking tasks, monitoring progress and improving team collaboration. They want to streamline their project management processes and enhance transparency.
Solution
- Requirement Gathering: Understand the company's project management needs, including task tracking, team communication, resource allocation and reporting.
- Technology Selection: Choose the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, Node.js) for its full-stack capabilities and real-time capabilities for collaboration.
- Database Design: Design the MongoDB database schema to accommodate project details, tasks, users and other relevant information.
- Backend Development (Node.js + Express): Develop RESTful APIs to manage projects, tasks, users, authentication and authorization. Implement user registration, login and access control.
- Frontend Development (Angular): Create a responsive and user-friendly UI for project management. Design interactive dashboards for project overviews and task tracking.
- Real-time Collaboration (Socket.io): Integrate Socket.io for real-time notifications and updates, enabling team members to collaborate seamlessly.
- Task Management: Implement features to create, assign and update tasks within projects. Add options for setting priorities, due dates and task descriptions.
- Reporting and Analytics: Develop reporting features to track project progress, task completion rates and resource allocation. Implement data visualizations using chart libraries.
- Testing and Quality Assurance: Conduct thorough testing of the application's functionality, performance, security and address any issues or bugs that arise during testing.
- Deployment and Hosting: Deploy the application on a cloud platform like Heroku or AWS and configure the server environment and domain settings.
- User Training and Onboarding: Provide training to users on how to use the new project management system effectively and offer user documentation for reference.
