Monitor project progress at a glance
Without a centralized dashboard, teams often face challenges like fragmented information, inefficient progress tracking, and communication gaps.
Project Overview offers a centralized space for teams to monitor project health, track progress, and collaborate effectively. It consolidates key project metrics, updates, and collaboration tools into a single view. Whether you're a project lead, team member, or stakeholder, this feature provides the visibility you need to stay informed and aligned.
Access Project overview
Navigate to Issues under your project and click Overview on the top bar. Alternatively, click the project name at the top left when working within other sections like Cycles or Pages.
