IT enables educators to prepare and deliver learning processes more effectively, thereby improving educational quality . IT also facilitates data processing, retrieval, storage, and manipulation to produce relevant and accurate information for decision-making . Such technology adoption has been proven to streamline workflows and enhance data accuracy in educational institutions . In higher education. IT plays a vital role in academic administration, such as managing Internship (KP). Final Project Proposals (Proposal TA), and Final Projects (TA). It simplifies academic processes, accelerates services, and JISTR. Volume 5. Issue 1. January 2026 P ISSN 2828-3864. E ISSN: 2828-2973 enhances studentsAo skills . Studies highlight that technology integration improves stakeholder coordination . and boosts document management efficiency . , although many institutions still face challenges in achieving optimal system integration . At Universitas Dian Nusantara. KP. Proposal TA, and TA are still managed manually, causing administrative backlogs, recording errors, delayed submissions, and difficulty tracking student progress. Students often struggle to ensure their progress is well monitored, while lecturers require more time to provide feedback . Similar challenges were noted, who found that manual communication and recording can directly delay final project completion . Several previous studies have attempted to address these issues. For example, . developed a Waterfall-based academic information system for managing and monitoring student internship data. created an Android-based academic monitoring application, and . designed an integrated academic management system using the ADDIE model. Agile-based approaches have also been widely adopted for their flexibility, as shown in . , which effectively integrated iterative, user-driven process management. Additionally, . built a Waterfall-based monitoring system to track interactions between supervisors and internship students, improving the quality of supervision. demonstrated that a web-based monitoring system for KP and theses accelerates data collection and reduces document loss risks. Similar benefits were reported in Agile-based academic systems at private universities . Based on these conditions and prior research, the objective of this study is to design and develop ProManageTI, a web-based integrated system that supports KP. Proposal TA, and TA with real-time monitoring and a user-friendly The contribution of this research lies in providing a unified academic management platform that streamlines submissions, monitoring, and evaluations, reduces bureaucracy, and facilitates transparent communication between students, lecturers, and administrators . The novelty of ProManageTI is the combination of integrated monitoring, scheduling, document verification, and notification features in one centralized platform, which has not been comprehensively implemented in existing systems. Similar systems have been proven to enhance user satisfaction in integrated academic systems . It is expected that ProManageTI will improve the effectiveness and quality of academic services at Universitas Dian Nusantara. The system has the potential to support fast and accurate academic decision-making and serve as a model for other universities facing similar challenges in academic administration. Ultimately. ProManageTI aims to create a more structured, transparent, and efficient academic process for all stakeholders . RESEARCH METHOD Data Collection Methods. Research Instruments, and Testing Methods Qualitative Approach This study also incorporates a qualitative approach to gain deeper insight into the real challenges faced by users in academic administration processes. This approach is employed to explore the needs, obstacles, and experiences of students and lecturers in managing internships, proposals, and final projects in a more contextual manner. Qualitative research emphasizes subjective meaning and understanding of phenomena within their natural context, making it highly suitable for studies on user-driven information systems . Supporting this, a study by . also used a qualitative approach to explore the impact of technology in education, showing that adaptive use of technology can enhance learning processes and improve academic service efficiency. Agile Method The Agile method is a software or system development approach that emphasizes flexibility, iterative cycles in small increments, and close collaboration between developers and stakeholders, enabling responsive adaptation to changing requirements . Its implementation has been proven to manage projects efficiently and deliver direct value to end-users . , while facilitating intensive communication and continuous iteration so that features can be adjusted based on user feedback . In various contexts. Agile also enhances responsiveness in inventory management and adaptation to changing needs in real-time . , accelerates development processes, and improves product quality through fast and repeated feedback cycles . Furthermore. Agile supports risk reduction by enabling early detection of issues and continuous delivery of functional components, ensuring the system evolves effectively with user needs. This adaptability makes Agile a preferred approach for modern software projects that operate in dynamic and fast-changing environments. JISTR. Volume 5. Issue 1. January 2026 P ISSN 2828-3864. E ISSN: 2828-2973 Figure 1. Agile Method Figure 1 illustrates the Agile method adopted in this study, specifically the Scrum framework, which emphasizes iterative development cycles and close collaboration between developers and stakeholders. The diagram shows how work is divided into sprints, enabling continuous feedback and adjustment to meet user requirements. This figure is essential to understand the methodological foundation of ProManageTI, as it demonstrates how flexibility and adaptability are integrated into the system development process. Black Box Method This study applies the Black Box method to test application functionality without accessing internal code, using input values to verify outputs through the Equivalence Partitions technique . demonstrated its effectiveness with Boundary Value Analysis for testing input limits, ensuring accurate handling of various scenarios. Similarly, . achieved 100% functional success in a web-based academic monitoring system for students with disabilities, confirming Black Box testing as a simple yet efficient method for detecting software errors. Integrated System and Monitoring Integrated systems and monitoring are crucial for improving efficiency and transparency in academic management. developed an industrial practice information system integrated with academic systems, while . created a thesis supervision monitoring system, both enhancing coordination and data accuracy. designed an Android-based academic monitoring app, and . applied the ADDIE model for integrated academic management, improving responsiveness and Using Agile, . built a monitoring system for tracking student progress, supported by . who linked academic system quality to user satisfaction. emphasized digital monitoringAos role in streamlining document tracking and communication, while . showed it boosts transparency and accuracy. Collectively, these studies confirm that digital monitoring integration helps students and lecturers achieve academic goals more effectively. Unified Modeling Language (UML) Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a modeling approach used to describe the functional requirements and workflows of a system through diagrams such as Use Case. Activity. Sequence, and Class Diagrams, which depict user interactions, process flows, object communications, and system structures respectively. The use of UML ensures that system designs are clear, structured, and aligned with user needs, thereby improving communication between developers and stakeholders . In the context of academic information systems. UML supports the development of features and workflows that enhance efficiency and adaptability to technological advancements in education . Additionally, its role in guiding accurate system functionality design is closely linked to the testing phase, where methods such as Black Box with Boundary Value Analysis validate that each designed component operates as intended .
