Hello, I’m starting a new project to improve my backend development skills using Laravel.
The goal is to build a Team Task Management System that simulates real-world collaboration, similar to tools like Trello or Asana, but simplified and focused on learning backend architecture.
This post is the first in a series where I’ll document the entire development process, from planning to deployment.
Project Goal
The system allows:
- Users and Teams
- Projects inside teams
- Tasks inside projects
- Task assignments, comments, and attachments
- Notifications for updates
Why am I Building This
I want to go beyond the CRUD basic apps and focus on real-world backend concepts like:
- Eloquent relationships
- Policies and authorization
- REST API design
- Service classes
- Queues and notifications
High-level idea
- A user joins a team via invitation
- Teams manage multiple projects
- Projects contain tasks
- Tasks can be assigned, discussed, and tracked
Database planning
- users
- teams
- team_user
- invitations
- projects
- tasks
- task_user
- comments
- attachments
- notifications
Next step
- Laravel Breeze setup
- Database migrations
- Team and user relationships
That's it for the planning phase. See you in my next blog post!
