Project team
The team of a project is a set of resources involved in the project works.
Team members:
- Get access to the basic information about the project.
- Can be assigned as the responsible employees for specific tasks.
- Can allocate time to the project (in the case that they are added as responsible employees).
The members of the team can be added in the Project team tab of the Project card:
A user, role, or a department can be chosen as a team member. In the case that a department is selected as a team member, all the employees of the department become responsible parties for the project and can track the working time for assigned tasks.
Roles are versatile resources, which can be used in order to substitute a specific resource at the time of planning. Later, the role can be replaced with a specific user.
