Browse and create projects — the unit of delivery work in Vertiqa.
Reviewed OperatorVertiqa 1.54+
A project is a body of work with a start, an end, and a set of tasks to deliver it. Every task in Vertiqa belongs to a project, so the projects page is where most delivery-side work begins.
What you can do here
- Switch the view — Gallery (cards, the default), Board (status lanes), or Table (a dense grid). All three show the same projects.
- Filter and search — use the status chips (each shows a count) or the Search projects box.
- Create a project with New Project — a name, optional description, status, and optional start/due dates.
- Read progress and health at a glance — each project shows its task count, percent complete, owner, and due date, plus an At risk or Due soon chip when one applies.
- Open a project to work its task board and add new tasks.
- Jump to the rest of PM from the header buttons: Types (work item types), Intake (the triage queue), and Analytics (the portfolio dashboard).
The strip above the list summarizes the portfolio — active projects, average completion, how many are due this week, and how many are at risk.
Statuses
- Planning — scoped but not actively working yet.
- Active — in flight.
- On hold — paused, will resume.
- Completed — delivered.
- Cancelled — abandoned, won't deliver.
Tips
- Set a due date even when it's a guess. A wrong due date is more useful than no due date — you can correct it once you learn more.
- Move stalled projects to on hold rather than leaving them as active. Active should mean someone is actually working it.
- Use completed vs cancelled honestly. Reporting and lessons- learned both depend on this distinction.
