What a Project Is

A project is the container for everything else in Kwilio Projects. It owns its tasks, its board, and its releases. Nothing crosses a project boundary: only a project's own tasks can join that project's releases, and a release belongs to exactly one project.

Projects live inside your organisation. Every plan includes unlimited projects.

Creating a Project

  1. Open Projects in the sidebar
  2. Click New Project
  3. Give it a name and a short key — the key is the prefix used in task references such as WEB-14
  4. Save

The task key matters more than it looks: it's what lets a Git branch named WEB-14-fix-login find its task on its own. See Git Integration.

Project Access

Access is granted per project on top of your organisation role. Someone in your organisation does not automatically see every project.

A project you cannot see returns nothing at all — the error never confirms that it exists. This is deliberate: project names leak more than people expect.

See Teams & Sharing for roles and how to add people to a project.

Views Onto a Project

Each project gives you the same work in several shapes:

| View | Use it when | |---|---| | Board | You're moving cards between statuses | | List | You're scanning a lot of tasks at once | | Releases | You want to see what's bundled into each sprint or version | | Timeline | Someone asks whether the sprint will land |

Switch between them from the project header. Filters apply to boards and lists alike — see Tasks.

Labels

Labels are defined per project and applied to its tasks. They're one of the things you can filter a board by.

Deleting a label removes it from every task in every project, so it needs owner or admin access rather than plain edit access.

Activity

The Activity feed shows recent events — status changes, comments, assignments, releases shipping — across the projects you have access to. Projects you're not a member of never appear in it.
