The Development of Student Award Record System (CertifyMe) Using Agile Methodology

The Student Award Record System, known as CertifyMe, was developed as a web-based platform to improve the process of managing student achievement records in educational institutions. Traditionally, certificates and student awards are stored manually, which may lead to misplaced documents, limited access, and inefficient record management. Therefore, this system was introduced to provide a more systematic and digital approach. It allows students to upload and keep their certificates online in a secure and organized manner. Through this feature, students can maintain a proper record of their achievements and access them whenever needed. Lecturers are able to review and verify the submitted certificates for students under their supervision, helping them monitor student involvement and accomplishments beyond academic results. In addition, administrators are responsible for managing user accounts and ensuring the accuracy and security of the stored information. The system was developed using the Agile methodology and implemented with PHP, HTML, CSS, and MySQL. It is equipped with a user-friendly interface to ensure smooth interaction for all users. By replacing manual filing methods, the system helps reduce the risk of document loss, improves accessibility, and increases transparency in managing student certificates. Overall, CertifyMe provides a practical solution for digital record keeping while contributing to a more efficient and organized academic management process.
