The brief
The CRM in CodeIgniter was built as a backend-driven customer and business management system.
The project required admin modules, database operations, record management, and workflow support.
The focus was on backend functionality, organized modules, and practical CRM operations.
Discovery & planning
Planning focused on CRM workflows, user records, database structure, and admin-side management needs.
CRM workflow review
I reviewed what records and processes the CRM needed to manage.
Database planning
The project required structured MySQL tables and relationships for CRM data.
Module planning
Admin modules were planned for managing records and operations clearly.
Implementation approach
The implementation used CodeIgniter and PHP backend logic with MySQL database operations.
