Open in Everview

Open a project from its Sankey ribbon or epic card to edit its name, color, parent, target date, and per-team effort.

Opening a project

Click a project's Sankey ribbon, or an epic card, to open its project page in a tab.

Editable fields

  • Name and color
  • Parent project — Everview only offers valid candidates for the hierarchy level directly above this project, so you can't assign an invalid parent
  • Target date
  • Type — the connected provider's issue type this project maps to

Effort

The Efforts section breaks estimated and planned effort down by team and by iteration, so you can see where a project's work is actually landing rather than only its top-line total.

Opening in the connected provider

A link on the project page opens it in its connected provider (Jira or GitHub) in a new tab.

Creating a new project

Use the Add Project button next to a track's ribbons to create a new project at that track's hierarchy level. See Understanding the Execution Hierarchy for how levels determine where a new project can go and which items can be its parent.

What to do about it

Check the Efforts breakdown before assuming a project's overall estimated-vs-planned gap is evenly spread — it often concentrates in one team or iteration rather than the project as a whole.
