Overview
Workspace is a fully customized project and task management platform built for internal team collaboration.
Inspired by visual workflow systems like Trello, the platform uses boards, columns, and cards to manage tasks across different project stages - such as New Orders, In Progress, Pending Review, and Completed.
The system offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, allowing team members to update progress instantly.
Managers access a dedicated admin dashboard to oversee timelines, allocate resources, track workloads, and adjust priorities.
The platform includes multi-role access, ensuring every user - admin, manager, or team member - views only what’s relevant to their responsibilities.
Real-time task tracking, notifications, and activity logs help teams stay aligned and reduce communication gaps.
Key Highlights:
- Custom Workflow Boards designed around the organization’s exact process.
- Drag-and-drop task management with dynamic status updates.
- Multi-role access system with separate dashboards for different teams.
- Real-time tracking & activity logs for transparency.
- Scalable architecture to accommodate growing project needs.
Challenges
This project presented several unique challenges that required innovative solutions and careful
planning to overcome. Here's a detailed breakdown of the key challenges and how they were addressed.
Dynamic Board & Card System Implementation:
Challenge:
A flexible system was required where tasks could move between workflow stages using drag-and-drop, without page reloads.
The board needed to stay responsive, sync correctly for all users, and remain smooth even with many cards.
Solution:
Built a fully interactive Kanban-style board using JavaScript (drag-and-drop APIs) with PHP backend storage.
Implemented asynchronous updates using AJAX to instantly save card movement.
Added visual animations and real-time UI feedback for a seamless experience.
Database structured for fast status updates, ensuring zero lag with large task counts.
Multi-Role Access Control & Custom Dashboards:
Challenge:
Admins required full visibility, while team members needed limited access.
A robust permission system was necessary to prevent unauthorized actions and ensure data integrity.
Solution:
Developed a flexible RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) engine.
Created separate dashboards:
- Admin Dashboard: project overview, task distribution, team activities, and controls.
- User Dashboard: assigned tasks, deadlines, and workflow boards.
All actions (create/edit/move/delete tasks) validated through role permissions.
Ensured complete isolation of restricted features for non-admin users.
Real-Time Task Tracking & Collaboration:
Challenge:
The platform needed to reflect project updates instantly - including changes in deadlines, card movement, new tasks, and comments - ensuring no team member misses updates.
Solution:
Added real-time activity log capturing movements, edits, assignments, and completions.
Integrated instant task notifications for assigned members.
Deadline tracking tools highlight urgent or overdue tasks.
Designed a fast, optimized backend so updates appear immediately on refresh, maintaining system responsiveness.
Results/Conclusion:
Workspace transformed internal project execution into a more transparent, organized, and efficient system.
Teams gained:
- A centralized hub for project planning and execution
- Faster communication through activity monitoring and automated updates
- Reduced bottlenecks due to clear task ownership and visual workflows
- Improved productivity through drag-and-drop task management
- Consistent, trackable progress across all project stages
The customized nature of the platform ensures it aligns perfectly with internal processes, making it a reliable long-term solution for streamlined teamwork and project management.
