In hackathon settings, team leaders face challenges in coordinating members from different backgrounds, ensuring tasks are clearly assigned and managed, and maintaining effective communication. Without a structured platform, projects can become disorganized, leading to reduced productivity and missed deadlines.

The Hackathon Management Platform directly addresses these challenges by providing a robust framework for team leaders to manage their teams effectively. Team leaders can register their teams, assign specific tasks based on members' skills, and monitor progress in real-time. The integrated AI chatbot enhances user experience by providing instant assistance, while the blog section keeps teams informed about best practices and trends in the hackathon community. Ultimately, this platform promotes better collaboration, boosts team morale, and drives successful project outcomes in hackathons.
