Project structure
Projects form a structure in OpenProject. You can have parent projects and sub-projects. A project can represent an organizational unit of a company, e.g. to have issues separated:
- Company (Parent project)
- Marketing (Sub-project)
- Sales
- HR
- IT
- ...
Projects can also be for overarching teams working on one topic:
- Launch a new product
- Design
- Development
- ...
Or, a project can be used to separate products or customers.
- Product A
- Customer A
- Customer B
- Customer C
Note
You must be a member of a project to view and work in it.
