One place for active delivery
Project Workspace is the working surface for an active project. The left side shows progress and the project calendar; the main area shows the tasks for the selected planning period; the top actions open Project chat, Team chat and Project Analytics without losing the current task context.
The workspace follows the project's operating model. Sprint controls appear for sprint-based delivery, hours appear only when time tracking is enabled, and financial actions remain hidden when the project does not use billing or invoices.
Find the work that matters now
- 1Choose a planning period
Select a week or configured delivery period in Calendar. The task list updates to that period without changing the project's total duration.
- 2Switch between Date and Status
Date keeps work in delivery order. Status groups work by its current state and unlocks the status filter.
- 3Filter by tags
Use one or several project tags. Match all narrows the result to tasks containing every selected tag.
- 4Use All only when necessary
All shows tasks across planning periods. Return to the active period for focused daily work.
- 5Read the completion counter
The Done/Total indicator summarizes the currently visible scope, not unrelated tasks outside the filter.
Create and maintain a delivery task
- 1Add a task
Choose Add task, give it a concrete outcome and place it in the correct delivery period.
- 2Add useful detail
Write the description as completion evidence. Checklist lines are useful when one outcome has several verifiable parts.
- 3Assign the project team
Choose one or more specialists from the active project team. When time tracking is enabled, distribute the planned hours between them.
- 4Add dates, status and tags
Dates place the task on Calendar; status drives delivery reporting; tags make cross-sprint filtering possible.
- 5Link the source plan
If the task came from Project Architect, keep its Architect link so the delivery task remains connected to the original plan item.
- 6Save, then update the state
Keep the task current as work moves from Pending to In progress, Done and, when the client owns acceptance, Accepted.
Use task status consistently
| Status | Use it when | What it communicates |
|---|---|---|
| Pending | The task is planned but work has not started | The commitment exists in the selected delivery period |
| In progress | At least one assignee is actively working | Workload and current delivery activity |
| Done | The team has completed the expected outcome | The work is ready for review or acceptance |
| Accepted | The authorized client reviewer confirms the result | The delivery outcome has passed its acceptance boundary |
Use Task Details as the complete work record
Opening a task shows one ordered record rather than separate disconnected popovers. The header owns title, dates and status; the scrollable detail area contains the description or checklist, Work products, Work context, Work Graph and Team Pulse when those sections have relevant evidence.
On mobile, Task Details uses a full-height sheet with a fixed header and action area. The detail area is the only scrolling region, so opening a long attachment list or Work context does not move the status and task actions off-screen. The sheet follows the active light or dark theme as one surface.
| Area | What belongs there | What it should not replace |
|---|---|---|
| Description and checklist | Outcome, acceptance detail and verifiable completion steps | Files or long agent reports |
| Work products | Agent results, uploaded files, previews, downloads and review state | Task status or client acceptance |
| Work context | Confirmed participants and the source Project Architect task | The full saved-team membership |
| Work Graph | Blockers, handoffs and related delivery tasks | An informal dependency written only in chat |
| Team Pulse | Private collaboration evidence around this task | A public rating or delivery-completion score |
Review files and agent results in Work products
Work products combines files uploaded by project participants with deliverables created by a connected project agent. Every item stays attached to its real project and task, so another participant can inspect the source, file name, summary, version and review state without searching a chat transcript.
An agent conversation does not become delivery evidence merely because the agent wrote an answer. The result appears here only after the authorized agent action saves a task artifact. Agent-generated results can then be previewed, downloaded, approved or returned with a precise revision request.
| State or action | Meaning | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Ready for review | The agent produced a task-scoped deliverable | Preview or download it, then approve or request changes |
| Changes requested | The reviewer recorded a concrete revision note | The responsible agent or participant prepares a new version |
| Approved | The work product passed its own review boundary | Update the task status only when the whole task outcome is complete |
| Attach files | An authorized participant adds a real project file | Keep the file on the task whose outcome it supports |
| Remove | An authorized manager detaches an incorrect item | Use only when the file does not belong to the task; review history is not a substitute for deletion |
Assign only confirmed project specialists
The assignee picker reads the active project roster, not every person in every attached source team. A newly added specialist becomes assignable only after the responsible specialist, partner or client has confirmed the participation request.
The same boundary is enforced by the task API. A pending or declined person cannot be attached to a task by sending a request outside the interface.
- Use Project details to review the current member status and decision owner.
- Resolve Review member before planning work for that person.
- When time tracking is enabled, use only the accepted HOURS allocation as capacity context.
- Adding a person or increasing allocation does not create an invoice without delivered task evidence.
Connect work with Work Graph
Work Graph explains how tasks affect one another. Open a task, choose a relationship type, then search the project task list. The relationship is visible from both ends so a blocker is not hidden inside one person's task.
| Relationship | Meaning | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Blocked by | This task waits for another task | A real predecessor that prevents work from moving |
| Blocks | This task must finish before the selected task can move | Making downstream delivery risk visible |
| Handoff | The result moves from this task to another | Design-to-development, research-to-strategy or team-to-team transfers |
| Related | The task provides useful context without stopping work | Parallel work, shared evidence and contextual links |
Keep progress and collaboration separate
- Task status says what happened to the deliverable; Team Pulse says how collaboration around the task feels.
- Use Project chat for decisions and communication tied to this project.
- Use Team chat for the wider team conversation when that channel is available to your role.
- Task comments keep a discussion attached to the relevant work item instead of burying it in a general thread.
- Private messages and scheduled meetings are available from the communication layer when a conversation should move to a smaller group.
A practical daily routine
- 1Open the current delivery period
Scan Progress, Calendar and the visible task count before changing anything.
- 2Review blocked and active work
Filter by Status and inspect Work Graph links before assigning more work.
- 3Update only changed tasks
Keep assignees, status, dates and checklist evidence current.
- 4Record collaboration signals
Use Team Pulse when there is meaningful evidence, not as a decorative daily vote.
- 5Open Analytics for patterns
Use task details for one item and Project Analytics for workload, schedule and cross-sprint patterns.
