Project

Introduction

The Projects application allows you to manage projects precisely at each phase. A project can have different states: new, ongoing, completed or cancelled. A project manager and a project team can be associated with it and the different tasks that each will have to carry out at each phase to successfully complete the project can be defined. A tool for planning, documentation (project wiki) and grouping projects together in a folder makes it easier to organize, while a dashboard provides a summary display of essential project information. In order to carry out a project it may be necessary to use resources. A system for managing resources and reserving them for projects is available. In addition, the user can configure project categories and resource types to speed up information gathering.
