Workspace

Limited to those who are invited by Admin. Uninvited user will not able to enter the workspace

The highest level of darlean structure, enabling user to use every single feature available in darlean

Workspace is the main work area. It is used for internal team, or if you have partnership you can create separate workspace to manage work with your partner without exposing internal data

Project and Plans

Limited to user that are invited to collaborate in the project. Uninvited user will not see the project

Project and plan are seperate menu that have similar operations. This is the main area where you manage the project or make corporate action plans

Project can be use to control task related to on-going project, or can be use to manage different division across the company. Plan is used to make corporate action plan where the task is more visionary

Represent the key result or objective to achieve in a project.

Example: app major feature, app release version, certain business goal

Epic

Simply defined as "very big task" that needs to be breaked down for each team to work effectively

Example: app minor feature, technical module

Task

All user invited in the Project or Plan

Smaller chuck of job that need to be done by the user

Sub task and Child Task

All user invited in the Project or Plan

By default this two additional task level is not prompted. If needed you can always go to Project Settings to add the task level and make customization on it

Complex business process requires additional task breakdowns to ease the project control.

Pro Tips Explore and be flexible to play around with these components. For example for a food chain restaurant who have many branches, each branch can be represented with one Workspace, in which every branch manager is responsible for setting up different projects and tasks according to the needs by simply adding in Project and Plans Another example of a Digital Marketing Agency that works closely with a Client, can have one main Workspace for internal coordination, and many others, including the client as a user. With that structure, clients can see the work in progress in real-time with less hustle to ask for updates.
