Without a centralized project view, teams often face challenges like fragmented information, inefficient progress tracking, and communication gaps.

Project Overview offers a centralized space for teams to monitor project health, track progress, and collaborate effectively. It consolidates key project metrics, updates, and collaboration tools into a single view. Whether you’re a project lead, team member, or stakeholder, this feature provides the visibility you need to stay informed and aligned.

​
Access project overview​

Navigate to Work items under your project and click Overview on the top bar. Alternatively, click the project name at the top left when working within other sections like Cycles or Pages.

​
Project header​

The header includes the project details and quick access to essential actions.

  • Add a custom banner and project icon to personalize your dashboard.
  • Write key details about your project plan, goals, and success metrics, helping your team stay aligned and focused.
  • Attach links or resources directly to the dashboard.

​
Project metrics​

You can view overall project completion percentages. Metrics are displayed visually with status bars to help identify bottlenecks.

This helps to identify overdue tasks and track progress over time. Task status breakdown:

  • Backlog: Tasks that are planned but not yet prioritized.
  • Unstarted: Tasks yet to begin.
  • Started: Tasks currently in progress.
  • Completed: Tasks that are done.

Quickly view and edit project properties in the info icon tab on the side panel.

  • State: Displays the current state of the project (e.g., Execution).
  • Priority: Shows the priority level (e.g., Urgent, High, Medium, Low, or None).
  • Team composition: See the number of Members involved and the assigned Project Lead.
  • Timeline: Manage and monitor Start date and Due date for the project.
