This project is a React + Vite workspace for managing milestone delivery, team capacity, task execution, and archived project history. It combines a polished project-management UI with a small Node.js backend for persisting milestone archive data.

• Task Generation for creating milestone-based delivery plans
• Employee Directory for maintaining team profiles and availability
• Task Tracker with workflow lanes and progress updates
• Timeline Analytics for a roadmap-style view of priorities and workload
• JSON Archive for reviewing archived milestone payloads
• Manager Dashboard for a client-ready summary view
• A lightweight Express API for persisting archive history to MongoDB

• src/App.jsx: main application UI and workspace logic
• src/App.test.jsx: UI regression tests
• server.js: Express API for archive storage and deletion
• public/: static assets for the frontend

• Node.js 18+
• npm
• MongoDB (optional for archive persistence; the app can still run locally without it)

npm install

npm start

The app will be available at http://localhost:3000/.

npm run server

The API will run on http://localhost:4000/.

npm test -- --run

npm run build

The backend uses the following environment variables when present:

• PORT: backend port (default: 4000)
• MONGO_URI: MongoDB connection string (default: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017)
• MONGO_DB: database name (default: project_pm)

Archived milestone payloads are loaded from the backend when available and can be cleared from the JSON Archive tab.
