¶ Understand Work Packages
-
Work Packages represent tasks, issues, or project activities in OpenProject.
-
Different types of Work Packages can be configured based on your needs, called Trackers. Some common trackers are:
- Task - Smaller items of work
- Feature - Functionalities being developed
- Bug - Defects or issues
- Change Request - enhancements
- Epic - Large body of work
- User Story - Requirements
-
Each Work Package has a set of attributes to capture information:
- Name - Short summary
- Description - Details about the work
- Tracker - Type of issue (task, bug etc)
- Status - Current state (e.g. New, In Progress, Completed)
- Assignee - Person responsible
- Priority - Importance
- Start/Due Date
- Estimated Time
- Spent Time
-
These attributes help manage and track the work packages effectively.
-
Work Packages can be organized into hierarchies to break down larger work items.
