The Product

The Audit Service of the Government required a tool to streamline the project planning process for their employees. To meet this need, a web application was developed that enables project leaders to input detailed project planning data. The web app features a user-friendly interface for project leaders to submit comprehensive plans, including timelines, milestones, and resource allocation. This application leverages a secure backend database to store and manage the submitted planning data, ensuring data integrity and accessibility. Once a project leader submits a plan, a designated planner can review the submission through an integrated dashboard. This dashboard provides functionalities for the planner to evaluate the project's feasibility and resource requirements. Upon acceptance, the planner can utilize the external planning application to assign employees to according to schedule within the project's timeframe. The web application employs role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure that only authorized personnel can view and modify the schedules, maintaining a high level of security and accountability.
