This proposal outlines the development of EduPilot, an innovative system designed to enhance academic productivity and student wellness through intelligent task management.

Project Overview

EduPilot is a comprehensive academic workflow management system designed to help students optimize their study schedules using Critical Path Method (CPM). The project addresses the common challenge of task prioritization and time management among university students.

Problem Statement

Students often struggle with managing multiple assignments, projects, and study tasks simultaneously. Conventional task management tools don't account for task dependencies and critical deadlines, leading to inefficient time allocation and increased academic stress.

Target Users

The primary target users are undergraduate and postgraduate students at Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA). The system is designed to accommodate various academic disciplines and can be adapted for different institutional contexts.

Project Timeline

The project spans the 2025/2026 academic year, with development phases including requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and deployment. The final presentation is scheduled for April 2026.
