Sequential vs parallel
Project work mode controls how tasks surface.- Sequential
- Parallel
Use sequential mode when order matters. Downstream tasks stay out of the immediate ready path until earlier tasks advance.Good for checklists, launch plans, onboarding flows, and procedures where step 4 should not run before step 2.
Templates
Templates let you preserve a proven project shape and duplicate it later. A duplicated project can bring along actions, documents, and links so the next run starts from the same structure.Good project descriptions
A useful project description states the finish line, not just the topic.Weak
“Taxes”
Strong
“Q2 estimated taxes are filed, payment confirmation is saved, and the accountant has the final
packet.”
