Projects overview

Projects are where work happens — they hold tasks and time, set how the work bills, and track budgets and profitability.

A project belongs to a client and is where the actual work lives. It holds the project's tasks and time entries, sets how the work bills, and can track a budget and profitability.

Before you start
Role
OwnerAdminManager

Owners, Admins, and Managers create, edit, and archive projects. Members see only the projects they're enrolled in and can't create or edit projects.

Where to find projects

Open Projects in the sidebar. The list at /projects has a view switcher. Click a project to open its tabbed detail page — Overview, Tasks, Time, and more.

What you can do

How projects fit together

An Hourly project inherits its client's default rate when you leave the rate blank. Billable Hourly time and a Fixed fee project's remaining contract balance roll up into the client's ready to invoice amount. All project time remains available in reports as tracked effort.
