Project Description: 

Perro is a light-weight project management tool that empowers teams to get work done. Perro was designed with developers and project managers in mind, giving them the tools they need to track and manage their projects with as little friction as possible. Compared to industry standards, like Jira, Perro requires less overhead yet gives more flexibility and control over your project with features such as an infinite hierarchical structure. To achieve this goal, Perro was built using React, Redux, Express and MariaDB. These technologies allow Perro to be quick and responsive. Industry standard project management systems can be bulky and cumbersome for small teams or individuals resulting in unnecessary time being wasted on bureaucratic upkeep.

With Perro, users can log in using a Google account and quickly get to work by creating projects and adding tasks to them. Perro will track the time estimates that users give for these tasks and helpfully display them on a graph. Once a task is completed or work is logged, the user can visualize how their progress compares relative to the deadline. Managers can use this data to track how a project is trending and see what tasks are behind, allowing them to re-allocate resources and better manage their team. Perro also features a team system that empowers users to collaborate. A team can be created with projects being shared among members in a matter of seconds. That’s it, Perro empowers users to spend their time doing the work they love without being bogged down by a cluttered interface and confusing options.
