🚀 GxPlan+

Planning a Collaborative Compliance.

GxPlan+ is a web-based project and task management system designed for regulated industries that demand both team collaboration and compliance traceability.
Built with Python (Django framework) and a modern Bootstrap interface, GxPlan+ extends the original GxPlan philosophy — Plan in Compliance — into the collaborative domain, enabling multiple users to plan, track, and document their work together while maintaining full auditability and data integrity.

🌐 Key Features

• Collaborative Project and Task Management
  Manage multiple projects with shared access among authenticated users.
  Each task includes start and end dates, responsible user(s), and weighted priority based on urgency, compliance, and effort.

• Dynamic Prioritization Engine
  Integrated priority algorithm combining compliance criticality, time constraints, and workload for adaptive project management.

• Progression Tracker
  Real-time progress monitoring for tasks and projects, including visual dashboards and percentage-based completion tracking.

• Audit Trail & Traceable Notes
  Each note added to a task or project is automatically timestamped and attributed to its author, ensuring traceability and accountability.

• User Authentication & Role Management
  Built-in Django authentication with role-based access control (RBAC) for hierarchical and secure collaboration:

  • Administrators – full access to configuration, users, and all projects
  • Project Managers – can create and assign tasks, manage timelines
  • Contributors – can update progress and add compliant notes
  • Viewers – read-only access for oversight and audits

• Modern Web Interface (Bootstrap)
  Responsive, clean, and intuitive design powered by Bootstrap 5.
  Includes dashboards with color-coded indicators, icons, and images for quick project and task identification.
