Manage Work Packages
What is a Work Package?
A work package represents a group of tasks that belong together and should be completed together as a group.
Work packages can have interdependencies, so you have to complete one before you can start the next one. This allows you to focus on the task at hand and to be guided step by step through the set-up.
You can display the work packages of a project on the project list or project map, see also Managing Projects.
