Build a Project Management MVP

Build a Project Management MVP
Boards, Tasks, Teams. 2 Weeks.

Project management tools succeed when teams open them every morning without being told. We build task boards, assignment workflows, and progress views that fit your team's actual rhythm instead of forcing a methodology. Kanban, list, and timeline views give every team member their preferred way to see the work. Real time updates keep everyone in sync without status meetings.

Project Management Architecture

Next.js serves the application with server components for initial page loads and client components for the interactive board, drag and drop, and real time updates. PostgreSQL stores projects, tasks, comments, and time entries with efficient indexing for filtered views and search. The board state uses optimistic updates: when a user drags a card, the UI updates instantly while the API call confirms in the background. If the server rejects the move (WIP limit reached, permission denied), the card snaps back. WebSocket connections (via Pusher or Ably) broadcast changes to all team members viewing the same board. File attachments upload to S3 compatible storage via presigned URLs. The reporting layer runs aggregate queries against the task history for burndown and velocity charts.
