Projects

You can think of a project as any work that has clear goals and a deadline.

In Tracker, projects are sets of issues that have a common goal. Projects are not linked to issue queues. That is why you can use projects to group issues from different teams focused on the same goal.

You can combine multiple projects into a project portfolio.

Getting started

To start working on a project in Tracker, create a new project and add issues. Projects may include issues from different queues.

Plan your work and manage your timeframes using a Gantt chart. Use milestones to track a project's progress and monitor its deadlines.

Project page

In the new Tracker interface, you can open any projects available to you from the navigation panel on the left: click  Projects or follow the direct link and select a project from the list.

The project page shows the details of the team, goals, and issues of the project.

• About the project tab. Project description, status, timeline, project author and owner, list of team members, comments, customers, milestones, links to other projects and portfolios, tags.

• Issue lists tab. The list shows both open issues and closed issues. You can filter the issue list. For more information, see List of project issues.

• Gantt chart tab. Your schedule of work on project issues. The Gantt chart specifies the timeframes of the issues and relationships between them. For more information, see Gantt chart in projects Tracker.

• Issue boards tab A virtual board with cards that makes it easy to track statuses of project issues. For more information, see Issue board.

  The project board is also shown in the  Boards section in the left panel. By default, this board is named <project_name> project board.

You can track your project indicator in the top right corner of the project page. The indicator is filled depending on the number of closed issues.

To commit changes to the project activities, update the project status.

To restrict access to the project, click the lock icon in the top-right corner and select Members only. In this case, the project will only be available to the users listed in the fields: Participants, Author, Customers, and Lead.

Configuring project parameter lists

To customize the parameters (fields) shown in the right sidebar, click Edit parameter list and choose the ones you want.

Specifics:

• If a field is not empty, it always appears in the sidebar. You can only hide the parameters that have no value set.

• You can't hide some parameters, such as Included in the portfolio, Status, Start date, Deadline, Author, and Lead.

• The list display settings are saved individually for each user and apply to all projects that the user views.
