Projects Tools
Feature rich workspaces allowing users to easily collaborate on projects online to get results
Overview
The Projects Module is a collaborative workspace or environment where teams can plan, organize, and manage tasks, activities, and resources related to a specific objective or initiative.
Within a Project, team members can communicate, share files and documents, assign tasks, set deadlines, track progress, and collaborate on various aspects of the project. It serves as a centralized hub for team collaboration, allowing members to work together across departments, streamline workflows, and achieve project goals efficiently. It offers features such as task management, timelines, document sharing, discussions, notifications, and reporting capabilities, all designed to enhance productivity and collaboration within project teams.

FAQ
What is the difference between Project, Department, and Group?
Projects are similar to Groups, but Projects are intended to be used when there is a need to track tasks and progress towards the completion of an activity. Projects might be limited to members of a certain functional area, but are great for facilitating cross-functional collaboration. For example, rolling out a new tool that will require the IT, HR, and Facilities departments.
