CHAPTER 1
People in the current world are overloaded with tasks. People must manage numerous
jobs effectively to deal with this overload (Neal, Ballard, and Vancouver, 2017). Efficient
task management is most important in the modern workplace, and its importance is amplified
in educational institutions like Negros Oriental State University (NORSU). Managing tasks
and responsibilities within NORSU offices can be a complex and multifaceted process. With
the ever-increasing demand for streamlined operations and improved productivity, the need
for a sophisticated online task management system has become evident. This capstone project
aims to address this need by developing an Efficient Online Task Management System
tailored specifically for NORSU offices. OTMS is a system that will help people manage
manually inputting their task and used them as their basis for accomplishing tasks. OTMS
will be able to help them navigate the tasks they have in a day and will be notified once the
task is not performed. This system easily assigns tasks to avoid all the time-consuming and
unnecessary meetings (Kumbhalkar, et al., 2018). The online task management system has
been doing a very good task in eliminating the need for hard copies, spaces, protocols, and
time.
The efficient online task management system for NORSU Offices is the tool for
creating and managing tasks through the project life-cycle, is a web application that aids in
tasks, Organizing, Streaming, and prioritizing the object or project can also be complete.
They allow information, metrics, reporting, analytics or any other files to be easily shared
and manage tasks, share information, and communicate with each other.
This study aims to develop an Efficient Online Task Management System uniquely

In an era of increasingly complex administrative tasks and the growing demand for
efficient information management, Negros Oriental State University (NORSU) recognizes the
need to streamline and enhance its internal office processes. This study aims to design and
implement an Online Task Management System tailored to the specific needs of NORSU's
various offices. The proposed system will facilitate the tracking, assignment, and monitoring
centralized and user-friendly platform, this system will help NORSU offices enhance
productivity, reduce administrative bottlenecks, and ensure more efficient service delivery,
ultimately contributing to the university's mission of excellence in education and
administration.
The functionality of the system requires an active internet connection for access.
Access is strictly limited to authorized personnel, namely faculty members and staff. This
approach is intended to safeguard sensitive administrative data and ensure that the system's
resources are used solely for the intended institutional purposes. By restricting access to
designated individuals, the system aims to maintain a secure and efficient environment for
managing crucial tasks and maintaining the integrity of confidential information within the
institution.
Definition of Terms
Efficient Online Task Management System: This refers to the central objective of this
study, a digital platform designed to streamline, automate, and enhance the processes related
to task management within Negros Oriental State University (NORSU) offices. The system
aims to facilitate the creation, allocation, tracking, and monitoring of tasks in an online
effectiveness.
NORSU Offices: In the context of this project, "NORSU Offices" represent the various
administrative and academic units within Negros Oriental State University, including
departments, divisions, and support services, where tasks and responsibilities are managed.
The project focuses on developing a tailored solution to meet the specific needs of these
offices.
