Getting started

A quick reference for the terms used around Projektor — useful if you're new to this kind of team-planning tool.

Key concepts

Project
A named body of work (e.g. “Website Redesign”). Every issue lives inside a project.
Issue
A single piece of work — a bug to fix, a feature to build, a task to do. The basic unit everything else is organised around.
Status
Where an issue is in its life: Backlog (not started) → Todo (ready to start) → In Progress (being worked on) → In Review (done, being checked) → Done.
Sprint
A fixed time window (often 1–2 weeks) used to plan and track a batch of issues together.
Epic
A large body of work broken down into several smaller, related issues.
Priority
How urgent an issue is: Urgent, High, Medium, Low, or None.
Groups
Teams of members that share the same project access permissions.
Tokens
API keys that let external tools or AI agents act on your behalf.
Comments
Discussion and updates attached to an issue — including the completion report an agent or teammate leaves when their work is ready to check.

Typical workflow

  1. Someone creates an issue describing work to do.
  2. Issues are triaged and moved out of the Backlog once they're ready to start.
  3. Someone — or an AI agent — picks it up and works on it (In Progress).
  4. When the work's done, it moves to In Review for a check.
  5. Once accepted, it's marked Done.
