Project Overview

The 13 tabs inside an individual project, and the Overview tab’s quick view of overall status, progress, workload, and health.

1. Project Tabs at a Glance

Opening a project gives you 13 tabs across the top, each covering a different part of the project’s work. Twelve project tabs grouped into four families. Task views: List, Board, Calendar, Timeline, WBS Gantt. Talking about the work: Conversations, Notes, Meetings, Document Vault. Governing the work: Governance, Overview. The project's record: Project Info. Each tab has its one-line question. Governance is marked feature-flagged; List is marked always present.
