Projectrak projects

A Projectrak project is a new entity in Projectrak — simpler and more flexible than a Jira project. In Jira, spaces, epics, and sprints help you organize work, but they don't always map to a real-world project. A real project might span two epics, one space and one epic, or any combination across your Jira instance. Projectrak projects let you define that boundary yourself and track it as a single entity.

You can add custom field values and link any Jira issues, epics, or tasks to it. This also makes it possible to combine product development with project delivery: digital products live in Jira and evolve continuously, while projects have a deadline and a delivery. Both can coexist in the same Project Navigator.
