# Projects & Tasks overview

> Organize Assistants, people, shared files and tasks around a business goal, from planning through execution and acceptance.

A project is a collaboration space for ongoing work. Bring together the relevant Assistants, people, files, instructions and conversations, then break the goal into tasks that can be assigned, tracked and accepted.

For example, preparing a competitor report may involve an analyst researching products, a data specialist checking prices and a writer composing the report after both inputs are accepted. The project holds shared resources and rules; tasks record responsibility, dependencies, execution attempts and acceptance decisions.

Projects also provide shared collaboration capabilities for plugin apps. An app can use the SDK to associate a project and synchronize its plans, business tasks and execution records. Users track specialized workflows in the shared task view while the app retains its business rules and acceptance process.

## What a project contains

| Content | Purpose |
| - | - |
| Assistants and conversations | Choose who performs the work and retain requests and follow-up replies |
| Project instructions and skills | Share terminology, output standards and reusable methods |
| Members and connectors | Control who can use, edit and manage the project and which business systems are available |
| Files and deliverables | Share inputs, maintain working files and inspect delivered results |
| Plans and tasks | Organize milestones, assignees, priorities, dates and dependencies |
| Execution and acceptance records | Distinguish attempts, independent reviews, rework and final decisions |
| Scheduled tasks | Run a selected Assistant at a configured time as a confirmed user |
| Application business tasks | Bring specialized plugin workflows into shared views with source ownership and execution traceability |

Human project membership, connected Assistants and group-chat membership are separate relationships. Joining a chat or enabling Project management on an Assistant does not grant project editing rights.

## From a goal to delivery

```mermaid theme={null}

  A[Prepare project and materials] --> B[Define tasks and requirements]
  B --> C[Explicitly dispatch]
  C --> D[Execute and save results]
  D --> E[Check and accept]
  E --> F[Confirm completion]
  E --> G[Request rework]
  G --> C
```

Creating an ordinary project task saves the plan. Dispatch starts execution, and successful implementation normally moves the task to **Review** before the responsible Assistant or an authorized user accepts it. Plugin application tasks start and receive acceptance through [their owning application's workflow](./plugin-apps/business-tasks). A 100% progress indicator, successful tool call or “done” message does not replace the relevant acceptance decision.

## Choose an entry point

| Entry | Use it to |
| - | - |
| Cloud project list | Find or create projects and open the full project workspace |
| Project Plan page | Organize plans, milestones, sprints and tasks |
| Project tasks page | Inspect the task tree, Gantt chart, status board and execution details |
| Project selector in an Assistant conversation | Select the work context before sending a request |
| Project tasks in conversation Workbench | Track work and acceptance alongside the conversation |
| Project menu below the group composer | Let the group owner connect a project and confirm participating Assistants |
| Plugin application's business entry | Create or open an application project, advance its business workflow and synchronize tasks |

Cloud and Desktop conversations share the Project tasks view. Full project-workspace instructions in this section use the Cloud entry. Available Assistants, application types, connectors and executors depend on your deployment and access.
