Projects

Projects group the tasks and notes you deliver for an account into one initiative—onboarding, a renewal play, an escalation, or any multi-step deliverable—so you can track progress, see what's behind schedule, and review what shipped. Reach for a project whenever work spans more than a single task and you want a board, a progress bar, and an AI summary in one place instead of loose tasks scattered across an account.

Before projects, tasks were standalone work items with no grouping: there was no way to tie a set of tasks and notes to a deliverable, see overall progress for an account, or get a high-level read on where the work stands. Projects add that container.

How projects work

A project has a title, an optional description, a linked account, a state that maps to a kanban column, and an optional due date. Tasks belong to a project through a project link—the task still appears on your normal task surfaces, and the project groups it for planning. Subtasks roll up under their parent task. Notes attach to the project the same way notes attach to accounts.

Progress on every card and on the detail page is completed / total linked tasks. As tasks move, the project state can update on its own (see Project states). A project that is past its due date while still Open or In Progress shows an Overdue badge—the badge flags the schedule slip but does not move the card to another column.

Enabling Projects

Projects is a gated feature: the Projects item appears in the main navigation once it's enabled for your workspace. If you don't see it, contact your FunnelStory team to turn it on—there's no self-serve toggle today.

The Projects page

Open Projects (/projects) for a workspace-wide view.

Summary and views

The toolbar shows an Active Projects stat (projects in Open or In Progress) and a view switch:

View	What you see
Projects – Kanban	Project cards grouped into four columns by state
Projects – List	A table of title, account, status, progress, and started date

Click New Project to create one.

When the workspace has no projects yet, the page shows No projects yet with a Create your first project button.

Project cards

Each kanban card shows the account name and logo, the project title, a description excerpt, a task progress bar (for example 2/5 tasks), the started date, and an Overdue badge when applicable.

Filters

Use Filter by to narrow the board or list:

• All Accounts — show only projects linked to the selected account.
• All Assignees — show only projects that have at least one task assigned to the selected workspace user.

Clear filters appears once a filter is set and resets both. The active view name (for example Projects – Kanban) is shown on the right.

Creating a project

1. On Projects, click New Project.
2. Enter a Title (required).
3. Select an Account (required).
4. Optionally add a Description.
5. Click Create Project. You land on the new project detail page.

Project states and the kanban board

Kanban columns map to the project state:

Column	State	Meaning
To do	open	Not started, or reopened after completion
In Progress	in_progress	Work has started on linked tasks
Done	completed	Initiative finished
Expired	expired	No longer active

The overview board is read-only for status—you don't drag cards between columns there. Open a project to change its status or manage tasks.

Automatic state from tasks

When a project has at least one linked task, FunnelStory moves its state based on task activity:

• In Progress when any linked task is in progress.
• Done when every linked task is finished (done or canceled).
• Back to To do when tasks reopen and none are in progress.

Projects with no linked tasks never auto-change state.

Manual completion

On the detail page, click the status badge to toggle a project between Completed and Open without deleting it.

Project detail

Open a project from a card or list row.

Header

• Editable title — click the title to rename; save on Enter or blur.
• Account — the linked account, with its logo.
• Status badge — manual complete / reopen.
• Started date when set.
• Progress — completed / total linked tasks.
• Delete — removes the project after confirmation. Linked tasks and notes stay in the workspace; only their link to this project is removed.

AI Summary

AI Summary generates a short executive read of the project from its tasks and notes. It runs automatically when you open the project and refreshes as the underlying tasks and notes change. Your workspace needs a configured AI provider for summaries to run; if generation fails, an inline error is shown.

Tasks tab

The Tasks tab (with a live count) manages this project's work:

• Toggle between Kanban and List views of the project's top-level tasks; subtasks roll up under their parent.
• Add a task inline at the top—new tasks are linked to this project and default to you as the assignee when available.
• Click any task to open the standard task panel.

Tasks created elsewhere can be linked to a project from the task editor; the project pill on a task links back to its project detail.

Notes tab

The Notes tab (with a live count) is the same notes experience as the rest of the product, scoped to this project: create, edit, label, and delete notes that reference it.

Imported notes from a Note model stay read-only here, just like on the workspace Notes page. See Notes for composer behavior, labels, and templates.

Tasks without projects

You can keep using tasks on accounts, revenue views, and task lists without ever creating a project. Projects add grouping, board status, progress, and summaries on top of the task model—they don't replace it. To import tasks from an external system, see the Task model.

Agents and automation

Configured AI agents can create projects as part of a workflow, supplying a title, account, and optional description, due date, and assignee. Agent-created projects appear on the Projects page like any other.
