User Story: Tracking Project Progress

As a Project Manager, I want to create and assign tasks to my team members, so that I can track the progress of the project.

Description

The Project Management Software should allow the Project Manager to create tasks, assign them to team members, set deadlines, and monitor the progress of each task.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Task Creation:

   • Given that I am on the task creation page, I should be able to enter the task title, description, and due date.

   • When I save the task, it should appear in the task list.

2. Task Assignment:

   • Given that I have created a task, I should be able to assign it to one or more team members.

   • When I assign the task, the assigned team members should receive a notification.

3. Progress Tracking:

   • Given that a task has been assigned, I should be able to view its progress in the task list.

   • When a team member updates the task status, the progress should be reflected in real-time.

4. Notifications:

   • Given that a task is nearing its deadline, the assigned team members should receive reminder notifications.
