- 2. Project Overview CrewCord is a real-time team collaboration and project management platform developed by Celestial Systems Inc. Looking at the current scenario and sudden change in work culture, it has now become necessary to gain a 360° view of where things stand. The idea was to create a virtual work hub, where the managers can assess the contribution as well as the availability of resources in a project. Overall, it is the one place for all internal teams to plan, collaborate, organize and deliver projects on time and on point. The Challenge The challenge was to design and build a mobile application for project management, that was less expensive and with enhanced usability than the existing applications in the market. Our Solution We have used agile software development methodology to create an application that can plan and structure work in an efficient manner. The mobile application was designed with multiple features that would help team members collaborate on various projects. Business Requirements Design a mobile application with 3 different features – employee monitoring, project management and productivity analysis Develop an employee time monitoring system Create a task management platform for the managers to assign tasks to team members Develop an application that provides a wholistic view of ongoing projects and time spent Build a virtual company notice board The mobile application ings enhanced visibility in project management on a real-time basis wi 80% increased w kflow & efficiency

Key Features Task Management System Notice Board Feature Leave Tracker System Developed a system where the individual contributors (team members) can independently add their tasks and track their contribution to a project. The managers can manage and forecast time for other projects using this member data The application also features a company notice board wherein the management/employees can post relevant data they want to share with the team An efficient and highly optimized leave tracker system which helps apply leaves and mark availability to improve the workflow The Architecture Phase CrewCord is a SaaS application. We have created an architecture which is maintainable and easy to scale horizontally in terms of features. Each feature is independent and can be plugged in or out as per the requirement. This enables the product to be customized to any organization’s requirement. Development Methodology The application was developed with agile methodology wherein each module was broken into user stories on which the developers worked on We used a strong architecture with developers working on multiple features at a time Moreover, the high-end CI / CD pipeline helps developers to deliver/deploy features as soon as they are developed With the distribution process automated, build generation and processing are made easier As soon as they commit their work, our Automation system runs test cases, checks code quality, generates an alpha/beta/production build and deploys it to the respective location
