ProjectFlow Task Tracker — A Jira-Style Project Management Tool Built on Salesforce
ProjectFlow Task Tracker is a custom-built Jira-style project management application developed using Salesforce Experience Cloud.
Salesforce LWC Developer
1. Project Overview
ProjectFlow Task Tracker is a custom-built project management application developed entirely on the Salesforce Experience Cloud platform using Lightning Web Components (LWC). The application is designed to work like Jira — allowing teams to track tasks, manage sprints, log time, and monitor project progress all in one place.
The goal of this project is to replace the need for third-party tools like Jira or Trello by building a similar tool directly inside a Salesforce org, where all the data stays within the organization and connects naturally with existing Salesforce records.

2. What Was Built
The entire application was built from scratch—no external plugin or AppExchange package involved. Every screen, every button, and every data flow was designed and coded manually.
2.1 Main Components
| Component | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Board View | Kanban-style board showing tasks grouped by status with a drag-friendly layout for visual task management. |
| Backlog View | Complete list of tasks with sprint, status, priority and project filters plus bulk actions. |
| Active Sprint | Dedicated sprint dashboard showing progress bar, issue counts and sprint completion controls. |
| Timesheet | Live timer, manual time logging and estimated vs actual hours tracking. |
| Reports / Analytics | Dark-themed analytics dashboard built entirely using SVG without external libraries. |
| Comments | Threaded comment system supporting @mentions and real-time notifications. |
| Assignment Detail | Complete issue detail page with editable fields, activity history, work logs and comments. |
| App Header | Top navigation containing profile management, settings, notifications and help panel. |
| Task Tracker Shell | Parent application container managing navigation, sprint information, fullscreen mode and keyboard shortcuts. |
3. My Role and Responsibilities
I was the sole developer on this project, responsible for designing and implementing both the frontend Lightning Web Components and backend Apex services.
3.1 Frontend Development
- Built all Lightning Web Components from scratch using HTML, JavaScript and CSS.
- Designed a Jira-style responsive user interface.
- Implemented inline editing for task fields.
- Built a fully functional Kanban board.
- Created SVG analytics dashboards without Chart.js.
- Added keyboard shortcuts, fullscreen mode and density toggle.
- Designed profile and settings modals with profile photo upload.
3.2 Backend Development (Apex)
- Developed AssignmentBoardController.cls.
- Built dynamic SOQL queries with advanced filtering.
- Implemented Sprint, Assignment and Timesheet APIs.
- Developed live timer functionality.
- Created notification services and analytics DTO classes.
- Implemented role-aware security using Custom Permissions.
4. Key Problems Solved
- Chart.js Locker Service Restriction
Rebuilt analytics using pure SVG because Salesforce Locker Service blocks Chart.js inside LWR Experience Cloud.
- Sprint Lookup Migration
Migrated Sprint from Picklist to Lookup relationship to improve relational integrity and querying.
- AuraEnabled Serialization
Replaced Map return types with strongly typed DTO classes for reliable LWC communication.
- Community User Display Names
Displayed Contact.Name instead of User.Name for proper user-friendly display.
- My Issues Synchronization
Implemented synchronized filters using @api properties and custom events.
