ARJ010/checklist_app

A Django-based web application for managing procedural checklists, featuring role-based access control, task management, and real-time feedback. Developed for TH&Co to optimize workflow efficiency and accuracy.

Checklist Management System

Overview

Checklist Management System is a web-based application developed as part of my Integrated M.Sc. in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The system was designed and implemented for TH&Co, a chartered accountant firm based in Calicut, Kerala, to streamline task management, automate procedural checklists, and enhance overall operational efficiency.

The project focuses on three key user roles:

• Admin: Manages users and system operations.
• Users: Initiates tasks by submitting forms and selecting relevant checklists.
• Checkers: Verifies the accuracy of submitted forms against checklist criteria.

This application leverages the Django framework with SQLite for data management, providing a scalable, secure, and efficient task management solution.
