Projects Overview
A project is the primary workspace in Vanillaround. Everything you work on — spec pages, requirement cards, boards, and members — belongs to a project.
What projects represent
Section titled “What projects represent”A project typically maps to one of the following:
- A product — “Mobile App”, “Admin Dashboard”, “API Platform”
- A release or phase — “Q3 Features”, “v2.0 Redesign”, “MVP”
- A workstream — “Checkout Improvements”, “Notifications System”
Choose the granularity that makes sense for how your team organises work. If two workstreams share members, a shared spec structure, and a shared approval cycle, they belong in one project. If they’re managed independently, separate projects make more sense.
Project anatomy
Section titled “Project anatomy”Each project contains:
| Section | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Specs | All requirement pages, organised in a hierarchy |
| Boards | Kanban views of card status |
| Progress | Change feed, mentions, client tasks |
| Settings | Members, card templates, integrations |
Navigating between projects
Section titled “Navigating between projects”The Projects link in the main navigation shows all projects you have access to. Projects are scoped to a business account — you will only see projects belonging to the account you’re currently viewing.
Project tags
Section titled “Project tags”Tags help organise projects at the account level. Apply tags during setup or from project settings to group projects by client, product line, or status.
