1. Motivation

“Project management is a growing field which has been used increasingly by organizations of

all sizes. The techniques used for project management play an important role to implement

projects successfully, including planning, control of time, cost and quality. As entrepreneurs

and company executive deal with the daily responsibilities of managing an organization or a

team, it is important to use a project management system to oversee projects from conception

to completion. It helps organization carry out large-scale projects on time, within budget and

with minimal disruption to the rest of the organization.”

2. Introduction

“The system, we implement will be beneficial for effective project management. It will enhance

project planning by allowing task distribution and assignment among team members. Also, it

will be useful to keep track of activities and progress of a particular project. The system will be

a communication and coordination medium between project manager and team members. It

identifies the different individuals involved on the project, together with their objectives,

expectations and influences to each other.””

3. High Level Design

The High level MVC design of our project is outlined as follows:

Figure: Architecture Diagram

Three Tier Architecture with MVC:

This project will be based on MVC pattern over three tier architecture where “M” stands

for Model, “V” stands for View and “C” stands for controller. The three tiers are:

Presentation Tier – Responsible for rendering user interface

Business Tier – Contains business logic

Data Tier – Responsible for storing data

The View and Controller will be a part of presentation tier. Model will exist in business tier

and will interact with data tier modules. The three-tier architecture is used to decouple the

layers as much as possible. This will also help to maintain the app and will be beneficial for

scalability purposes.

4. Component Level Design

The Entity Relationship diagram of our project is as follows:

Task, Invitation, Project and User are the entities we have considered for the implementation

of our project. User entity have attributes like name, email, password for a user to sign

up/login for an account. Once the user logs in, he can view the various project s under him

and he can have the access to the various features like creation/deletion of a project/task.

Since the user can create any number of project or tasks there is One-Many relationship

between the user and project, user and task. A single project can have any number of tasks

making it One-Many relationship again. There is one-Many relationship between user and

invitation, project and invitation as a user can send any number of invitations to any project

in a single project.

5. Platforms and Technologies Used

Framework /Technologies: Spring MVC, Hibernate, AOP, IOC, Bootstrap, Thyme leaf,

HTML, CSS, Transactions

Database/DBMS: MySQL

Build Tool: Gradle

Language: Java

6. Features

We have implemented the following features:

1) Account Creation – User has the option to create an account or login in to his account if it

already exists.

2) Project Creation- User has the option to create a project with a title and description, which

gives owner privileges. The project is in planning state just after it is created.

3) Send Invitation- Project Owner has the option to send invitation for other users to

participate in the project by sending an email invitation.

4) Accept Invitation- User has the option to check the various invitations he receives and

accept a particular invitation by click the link in the email.

5) Add Task User has the option to add a task to a project which includes the project title,

description, assignee, state, estimated units of work , and actual units of work . User can

only add tasks during the planning state.

6) Delete Task -User has the option to delete already created task from a project. User can

only delete tasks during the planning state.

7) Cancel Task -Project Owner has the option to cancel already started task from a project

even if the project is in ongoing state.

8) Get Project State- User has the option to get the state of the project i.e planning, ongoing,

cancelled or completed.

9) Assign Task- Project Owner has the option to assign different tasks to different users. The

assignee can be changed any time before the project is completed/cancelled.

10) Start Project-Project Owner can start it when every task is in assigned state and have

estimated units of work filled in. The state of the project changes from planning to ongoing

state once the project is started.

11) Change Project State- Project Owner has the option to change the project state from

planning to ongoing when project is started, from ongoing to cancelled if a project is

cancelled. Assignee has the option to change the state from ongoing to complete if a project

is finished.

12) Cancel Project- Project Owner has the option to cancel a project if the project is in any of

new, planning, or ongoing states.

13) Report Project Progress- User has the option to view the progress of the project i.e of task

units originally planned, task units finished, tasks units to be finished, task units cancelled

with the team members scoreboard sorted by the number of task units completed so far.

9. Lessons Learnt

This project gave insight to many technologies and concepts like Spring AOP, Hibernate. It

also gave exposure of developing an end-to-end application and the flow of working across

different components of MVC model, view and controller.

10. Future Scope

We can include OAuth functionality for login via Third party application such as LinkedIn.

Projects can be categorized and displayed section wise.

Project tasks contribution can be viewed as form of graph like version control systems.
