Next planned updates include more types of progress visualizations.This project is personally interesting to me because I've worked as a product manager for many years and never found a tool with the usability, minimalism, and visual workload simulation I knew was possible. Without the latter, I felt disoriented and more helpless when it came to being pressured into scope creep. ProjectZen was created as a side project using Angular, Django, Google App Engine, Google Cloud SQL, and Firebase Authentication.
