Overview

Projects

Project Management in the KMMV dashboard helps you plan and deliver work for your customers. You create a project, break it into tasks and milestones, track the time your team spends, collaborate through discussions and files, and bill the work through invoices, estimates and expenses — all in one connected place.

Where to find it

Open Projects in the left sidebar (/admin/projects). Open a project to see its tabs: Overview, Tasks, Timesheets, Milestones, Files, Discussions, Gantt, Tickets, Contracts, Sales, Notes and Activity.

Key terms

  • Milestone — a stage of the project that groups related tasks.
  • Task — a single unit of work that can be assigned and timed.
  • Billing type — how the project is charged (fixed rate, project hours or task hours).

Recommended workflow

  1. Create a project and add its members.
  2. Plan milestones and add tasks under them.
  3. Track work with timesheets and monitor the Gantt chart.
  4. Collaborate through discussions and files.
  5. Bill the work via the Sales tab (invoices, estimates, expenses).

Good to know

  • You choose which tabs a project shows and what the customer can see, so each project fits its situation.
