Issue
is great for starting with Plane, but as you advance in your project management journey, you find the need for names and properties unique to the type of work you are doing.
For example, your Marketing team may need a work item type called Content
with the properties, Channel
, SEO done?
, and Reviewer
— properties that aren’t available on the default Work items. Your Engineering team, on the other hand, may want a work item type called Bugs
with the properties Version
and Environment
to have more upfront info per bug reported.
Work item Types make these and infinite other use cases possible.
