Implement project management functionality #28
Description
Description
Implement comprehensive project management functionality that enables users to organize, track, and manage projects effectively. This includes project creation, tracking, milestones, and overall project lifecycle management.
Motivation
- Provide structure for organizing work at a higher level than individual tasks
- Enable better planning and tracking of larger initiatives
- Support project-based workflows common in software development
- Facilitate resource allocation and timeline management
- Enable project progress reporting and visibility
Scope
Core Project Management
- Create, edit, and delete projects
- Project name, description, and metadata
- Project status (planning, active, completed, archived)
- Project start and end dates
- Project owner/lead assignment
- Project visibility settings (public/private)
- Project archiving functionality
Project Organization
- Assign tasks to projects
- Create project milestones
- Define project goals/objectives
- Project tags/categories
- Project templates for common project types
- Sub-projects or project hierarchy (optional)
Project Tracking & Metrics
- Project progress tracking (% completion)
- Task count by status within project
- Project timeline/Gantt view
- Milestone tracking and completion
- Project velocity metrics
- Burn-down charts
- Time tracking per project (if time tracking exists)
Project Views & Navigation
- Projects list view with filters
- Project detail/overview page
- Project board view (all tasks in project)
- Project timeline view
- Project members view
- Project activity feed
Collaboration Features
- Assign team members to projects
- Project-specific permissions
- Project discussions/comments
- Project updates and announcements
- @mention notifications in project context
Backend Requirements
- Projects database table and relationships
- API endpoints for project CRUD operations
- Project membership management
- Aggregate queries for project metrics
- Project permission enforcement
- Project activity logging
Acceptance Criteria
- Users can create and manage multiple projects
- Tasks can be associated with projects
- Project progress is accurately calculated and displayed
- Project milestones can be created and tracked
- Team members can be assigned to projects
- Project views provide clear visibility into status
- Projects can be archived when completed
- Project data is properly scoped and secured
Technical Considerations
- Consider integration with existing board/task system
- Plan for project templates and quick-start guides
- Think about project dependencies and relationships
- Consider project budget tracking (future enhancement)
- Plan for project reporting and export functionality
- Consider project roadmap visualization
- Think about project duplication/cloning
