Project Management

Projects are the core organizational unit in YAPL. They represent distinct pieces of work with defined timelines, budgets, and team assignments.

• Organizational Structure - Container for plans, tasks, and resources
• Team-Based Access - Controlled through team assignments
• Lifecycle Management - Status tracking from planning to completion
• Budget Tracking - Financial monitoring and cost control
• Timeline Management - Start and end dates with progress tracking
