Cleaner filtering and reporting by task type
Consistency in delivery tracking and review

Task Dependencies

Control sequencing and risk by linking dependencies across tasks and exposing blockers before delay spreads.

Task Dependencies mapping for sequencing
Waiting for relationships between tasks
Blocking relationships for escalation focus
References for contextual task linkage
Linked Tasks for broader execution context
Earlier blocker detection before milestone slippage

Project Notes and Public Notes

Capture execution context, decisions, and updates through internal notes and customer-safe Public Note communication.

Public Note updates for customer-safe visibility
Internal project notes for delivery discussions
Pinned notes for critical decisions
Private vs customer-safe context separation
Decision history that preserves project memory

Files, Discussions, and Activity History

Keep project attachments and discussion context centralized so teams can hand over work with minimal context loss.

Centralized files and deliverable attachments
Comments and discussion context on project work
Activity history for traceability
Audit and handover readiness
Reduced dependency on scattered chats and drives

Timesheets and Effort Tracking

Track execution effort with time entries linked to projects and tasks for weekly discipline and cost awareness.

Timesheets tied to project and task records
Time entry logging against active execution
Effort visibility for delivery managers
Weekly review cadence for data quality
Delivery cost awareness from real effort data
Project-level utilization context for staffing decisions

Customer Visibility and Controlled Sharing

When customer access is enabled, share selected progress and files while keeping internal execution details private.

Customer access controls when enabled
Customer-visible progress sharing
Selected file sharing per project needs
Internal-only notes remain private
Cleaner client communication without separate status documents

Progress, Delays, and Execution Review

Run a consistent review cadence using project status, overdue tasks, blocked work, and milestone slippage signals.

Project status review for delivery health
Overdue task monitoring and follow-up
Milestone slippage visibility for escalation
Blocked task tracking and intervention
Execution review cadence for PM and management
Manager visibility for course-correction decisions

Templates and Repeatable Project Structure

Standardize recurring delivery work with reusable project setup patterns and repeatable milestone/task structures.

Reusable project setup patterns
Recurring milestone and task structures
Standardization for onboarding and implementation projects
Faster project creation with less setup variation
Governance consistency across repeated delivery work

Reporting and Delivery Review

Support project governance with practical outputs for progress, completion, effort, and workload decisions.

Project progress summaries
Task completion and status tracking
Milestone status review outputs
Time spent by project and effort visibility
Team workload visibility in project context
Delivery review outputs for management cadence

FAQ

Can we manage milestones and tasks in the same project?

Yes. Projects supports milestones and task execution in the same record so planning and execution stay aligned.

Can we assign clear owners and due dates?

Yes. Teams can assign Project Owners and task owners, then enforce due-date discipline for execution accountability.

Can we classify tasks by type?

Yes. Task Type allows reusable task classification for governance, filtering, and reporting consistency.

Can we track task dependencies and blockers?

Yes. Task Dependencies support Waiting for, Blocking, References, and Linked Tasks to expose risk earlier.

Can teams log time directly against project work?

Yes. Timesheets and time entries can be linked to projects and tasks for effort visibility and weekly review.

Can customers see selected progress without seeing internal notes?

Yes. Customer visibility can be controlled so shared progress is visible while internal notes remain private.

How should this module differ from Workload Planner?

Projects is for execution governance (records, milestones, tasks, dependencies, and closure). Workload Planner focuses on capacity balancing and resource pressure.

How should this module differ from Time & Attendance?

Projects tracks delivery execution and task effort. Time & Attendance tracks attendance policies, shifts, and broader workforce timekeeping.

What should project managers review every week?

Review milestone status, overdue tasks, blocked dependencies, time-entry completeness, and project-level progress notes.

Who should control project closure?

Project closure should be controlled by defined governance roles such as Project Manager or Projects Admin, with closure checklist discipline.
