Home Help Getting Started Projects

Projects

A project is the top-level container for all work in PushBackLog. Each project has its own backlog, kanban board, themes, decisions, and team roster.

Creating a Project

  1. Click Projects in the sidebar.
  2. Click New Project.
  3. Fill in:
    • Name — human-readable project name (e.g. “Mobile App Rewrite”)
    • Key — short prefix used for ticket IDs (e.g. MA). Keys are 2–6 uppercase letters. Cannot be changed after creation.
    • Description — optional context about the project’s purpose.
  4. Click Create.

Your first backlog item can be created immediately after.

Project Key

The project key is prepended to every ticket ID: MA-1, MA-2, etc. Choose a descriptive but short key. Once set, it cannot be changed because existing ticket IDs would break.

Managing Projects

From the Projects list page you can:

  • Open a project to view its backlog
  • Edit project name and description (key is read-only)
  • Archive a project to hide it from the default list (archived projects remain searchable)

Project Settings

Inside a project, the Settings tab exposes:

  • General — name, description, key (read-only)
  • Members — add or remove project-level members and set their roles
  • Danger zone — archive or permanently delete the project

Switching Projects

The sidebar shows your most recently accessed project. Use the Projects link to switch to a different project, or use the project switcher dropdown at the top of the sidebar (if you have multiple projects).
