The projects section is the biggest here and gives you a set of powerful tools to plan, execute, control and monitor your projects successfully.
Projects dashboard
We have four stages/statuses a project can have:
- Idea – the project is just an idea and there is no current attempt for realization
- Planning – you agreed to kick of the project and start planning (add people, tasks, etc)
- Executing – done planning you can set the project to executing and start working on it with your team
- Finished – when you successfully executed all tasks set the project status to finished
Note: Per default we set your project in the create process to “executing” so that you can immediately start working on it. If you don’t want that change the project status after the creation.
The right part of the page gives you an overview of all your projects. Every project is visualized in a project card that gives you information on the project status, the working progress, the people involved and the financial health of the project. You can easily see if a project is in trouble and needs some extra attention.
Project Overview
Project board
The board is a simple and powerful overview of all your tasks put into a simple flow according their sections. By simply dragging a task card from one list to the other you change the section of that task. By double clicking on a task card the task detail window will pop in on the right side and you can edit, track time, write a comment etc.
Project task list
The simple task view you already know from the tasks section but with more flexibility to make it easy to create, assign tasks or do other frequent action faster. Also gives you the possibility to check the estimated time with the actual time used for each individual task.
You can organize you projects into different sections, like different working packages or a kanban flow.
