Team Shift Scheduler

About the Project

This project is a Team Shift Scheduler—a full-stack web app designed to help managers and team members streamline shift assignments. We built this app with Angular on the front end, creating a user-friendly experience that lets admins set up shifts and employees claim them on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Why We Built It

Our goal was to build an intuitive scheduling app that keeps things simple. Shifts can sometimes feel chaotic, so we wanted a tool that makes the scheduling process easy and transparent for both admins and employees.

Key Features

  • Admin Dashboard: Admins can create, edit, and delete shifts. They can also manage team members’ accounts.
  • Employee Access: Employees can view all open shifts and claim available ones in real-time. It’s first-come, first-serve, so it’s fair and straightforward.
  • Personalized Schedules: Each team member can see their own claimed shifts, making it easy to keep track of what they signed up for.

Tech Stack

  • Angular for the front end
  • Backend: [Your backend choice here, e.g., Node.js with Express or Django]
  • Database: [Database choice, e.g., MongoDB or PostgreSQL]

How It Works

  1. Admins log in, create shifts, and manage team members.
  2. Employees log in to see available shifts and claim them.
  3. Once claimed, shifts show up in each employee’s personal schedule.

Project Highlights

  • Built a Responsive UI with Angular, making the experience smooth on both desktop and mobile.
  • Real-Time Shift Management: Shifts update dynamically, so employees see openings as they become available.
  • Hands-On Full-Stack Development: We handled everything from setting up the backend server and database to designing the front-end interface.

What We Learned

Working on this project taught us a lot about coordinating back-end logic with front-end interactivity, especially in real-time applications. We also gained valuable experience in teamwork and version control, making sure everyone’s contributions fit together smoothly.

Future Ideas

  • Notifications: Send reminders to employees for upcoming shifts.
  • Shift Swapping: Let employees trade shifts if they need to.

About Our Team

We're a group of students passionate about full-stack development, and we wanted to take on a project that has real-world applications and showcases our technical skills. This app challenged us to think about both user experience and functionality, and we’re proud of what we accomplished.
