Inspiration

Managing team tasks and tracking progress can quickly become chaotic, especially for small teams and student projects. We were inspired to build Team Progress System to provide a simple, visual, and efficient way for teams to organize tasks, monitor progress, and collaborate more effectively.

What it does

Team Progress System is a task and progress management web application that allows teams to:

Create and manage tasks
Assign tasks to team members
Track progress using a Kanban-style dashboard
Set priorities and deadlines
Monitor overall team productivity in one place

How we built it

We built the application using a full-stack approach:

Frontend: React.js for a responsive and interactive user interface
Backend: Node.js with Express to handle API requests
Database: MongoDB to store tasks and user data
Tools: Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration

The frontend communicates with the backend through RESTful APIs to fetch and update task data in real time.

Challenges we ran into

One of the main challenges was connecting the frontend and backend correctly, especially handling API requests and resolving CORS and fetch-related errors. We also faced issues with managing asynchronous data loading in React and ensuring the UI updated properly when tasks changed.
