Team Task Manager

Problem

Teams struggle with task ownership, project visibility, and workflow clarity across multiple communication tools.

Solution

Built a structured collaboration workflow: create workspace → invite members → create projects → assign tasks → track progress.

Highlights

• Workspace-based multi-tenant architecture
• Role-based permissions system
• Project and task lifecycle tracking

Architecture

• Next.js frontend
• Node.js + Express backend
• MongoDB multi-tenant data model
• RBAC permission middleware

Key decisions

• Chose workspace-based multi-tenancy for simplicity
• Separated projects and tasks collections for flexibility
• Focused on clear permission hierarchy to avoid access conflicts

What I learned

Building SaaS foundations, multi-tenant system design, and collaboration workflows.
