The Project module allows you to manage tasks and time consuming on tasks. You can also link Dolibarr entities to a project (like [[Module Commercial Proposals|commercial proposals]], [[Module Customers Orders|customers orders]] or [[Module Customers Invoices|customers invoices]]).
The Project Module is a core Dolibarr module. It is optional and part of the Projects/Collaborative work group in module list.
 
The main purpose of the module is to manage projects defined as a hierarchy of tasks and to track time consumed by users on these tasks.
Projects could be used for internal projects, done for your organisation or for projects linked to Dolibarr entities (like [[Module Commercial Proposals|commercial proposals]], [[Module Customers Orders|customers orders]] or [[Module Customers Invoices|customers invoices]]).
 
Current documentation applies to 4.0.2 Dolibarr release.
