1.Abstract

This project presents a robust Collaborative Project Management Tool developed using the Django framework to streamline project tracking and user management processes[1]. The system incorporates essential features, including user authentication for registration, login, profile updates, and secure password management, alongside a user-friendly dashboard that enhances navigation and usability. Users can create and manage projects [5], assign tasks,[5] and monitor progress through a comprehensive project history. Additionally, the platform supports the generation of project reports by converting HTML content into PDF format for printing and archival purposes [4]. A centralized admin panel allows administrators to oversee user authentication and authorization while managing project lifecycles[9]. Admins are empowered to modify project statuses [5], such as transitioning projects from "Started" to "Completed," ensuring accurate and up-to-date records [5].

The tool is built using Django for backend development [1], and employs technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap for a responsive frontend [3]. Libraries such as XHTML facilitate seamless PDF generation [4], while Django’s built-in authentication[1] system ensures secure user management. The database layer relies on SQLite (SQLite3) for robust data storage. By prioritizing accessibility, functionality, and ease of use, this system serves as a valuable resource for teams and organizations, fostering collaboration and ensuring efficient project management [2].
