Problem

The Youth Involvement Program aimed to transition from a paper-based system to a digital platform for better engagement and retention of young members. They needed a comprehensive web application that could manage and track activities, provide different portals for various user roles (Club Member, Club Dept, Branch Dept, State Dept), and feature a leaderboard to encourage competition.

Challenges:

• Research and Build from Scratch: No pre-existing solutions were available to meet the specific needs of the program.
• Different Portals: The need to create distinct portals for different user roles.
• Activity Management: Implement a system to manage and track activities.
• Leaderboard: Implement a leaderboard system to encourage competition among clubs.

Solution

Approach

We employed an Agile development methodology, allowing for iterative development and testing. Task segregation was used to manage time effectively and prioritize tasks for on-time project delivery.

Technical Details

• Frontend: Developed using ReactJs for a responsive and dynamic user interface.
• Backend: Ruby on Rails was used for its robustness and ease of development.
• Activity Management: Created a comprehensive system to manage and track activities.
• Leaderboard: Implemented a leaderboard system to encourage competition among clubs.
• Quality Test: Conducted both manual and automated tests to ensure the platform's reliability and efficiency.
• Deployment and Maintenance: Deployed the application on Digital Ocean and set up a maintenance plan.

Collaboration

Cross-functional teams were essential, involving close collaboration with designers and other developers to align the project with the Youth Involvement Program's vision and goals.

Result

• User Engagement: Achieved a 60% increase in user engagement within the first two months.
• Role-Specific Portals: Successfully implemented different portals for various user roles, enhancing the user experience.
• Activity Management: The new system effectively manages and tracks activities, leading to a 30% increase in activities completed.
• Client Satisfaction: The Youth Involvement Program was extremely satisfied with the solution, leading to an ongoing partnership for maintenance and future updates.

By focusing on both immediate project requirements and long-term maintainability, we were able to deliver a solution that not only met but exceeded the Youth Involvement Program's expectations.
