How to Make a Business Process Management (BPM) App with Flutter
Task Assignment
class Task {
final String id, title, assignedTo;
final DateTime deadline;
final TaskStatus status;
Task({required this.id, required this.title, required this.assignedTo,
required this.deadline, required this.status});
}
enum TaskStatus { pending, inProgress, completed, overdue }
class TaskBoard extends StatelessWidget {
final List tasks;
final void Function(Task) onAssign;
const TaskBoard({super.key, required this.tasks, required this.onAssign});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return ListView.builder(
itemCount: tasks.length,
itemBuilder: (ctx, i) {
final t = tasks[i];
final overdue = t.deadline.isBefore(DateTime.now()) && t.status != TaskStatus.completed;
return Card(
color: overdue ? Colors.red.shade50 : null,
child: ListTile(
title: Text(t.title),
subtitle: Text('Assigned to: \${t.assignedTo} · Due: \${t.deadline.toLocal()}'),
trailing: DropdownButton(
value: t.status,
onChanged: (s) { /* update status */ },
items: TaskStatus.values.map((s) => DropdownMenuItem(value: s, child: Text(s.name))).toList(),
),
),
);
},
);
}
}

UI & UX Suggestions
Use a white cards, orange warning for overdue, green progress bars colour palette to match the app's purpose. Keep the navigation simple — a bottom nav bar or a single-scroll layout works best for this type of app. Make sure every interaction provides haptic or visual feedback so the app feels responsive and polished.
