Leadership, communication, planning and critical thinking are some of the qualities that can be improve by doing projects. However, having a project without proper management will lead to unacquired objectives and results which is undesirable.

Thus, an idea for a project management Android application has been introduced with the aim of resolving the problems faced by students and at the same time prepare them for society by enhancing their project management skills. To develop this application, it follows the discipline of a project architecture called Software Development Life Cycle.

It is hoped that this application will provide a new social platform for students to execute their project and acquire good project management skills with it.
