Projects — organize work and track progress

Projects are the central organising unit in Corvan. Tasks, documents, decisions, contacts, meetings, and time entries all attach to projects — so everything about a piece of work lives in one place.

Creating a project

Click + New project at the top of the Projects screen, give it a name, and you are set. You can add a description, status, deadline, and budget later from the project page.

Or ask the assistant:

  • "Create a project for the Q3 launch."
  • "Start a new project called Website Redesign."

What you can do inside a project

Each project has six tabs:

  • Overview — recent activity, key decisions, and time logged.
  • Tasks — all tasks for this project, with a kanban view and drag-to-reorder.
  • Docs — files and documents attached to the project.
  • People — contacts linked to this project.
  • Timeline — a chronological record of everything that happened.
  • Decisions — logged decisions with full history.

Milestones

Add milestones to mark key checkpoints — name, due date, and a status (planned, in progress, done, or cancelled). They appear in the overview and factor into the project health score.

Project health

The assistant calculates a health score based on your tasks and milestones — how many are on time, how many are overdue, how much is in progress. Ask for an explanation:

  • "How is the launch project doing?"
  • "Explain the health of the redesign project."

Asking about projects

  • "Show my active projects."
  • "What's the status of the Q3 launch?"
  • "Who is on the Website Redesign project?"
  • "Create a project for the new campaign."
  • "What tasks are open on the supplier project?"
