Definitions

Once the core structural elements of Agile PM have been configured — such as Project Types, Case Categories, and User States — the next step is to define the specific project-level structures that will be used in practice.

These include:

  • Projects – business initiatives serving as containers for agile work.
  • Project Groups – logical groupings of projects that share common configurations such as areas and milestones.
  • Project Areas – subdivisions used to organize work within a Project, across a Project Group, or globally across all Projects and Project Groups.
  • Project Milestones – checkpoints representing key events and goals within a Project, within a Project Group, or globally across all Projects and Project Groups.
  • Sprints – fixed timeboxes (typically 1–4 weeks) used to plan and track the execution of cases toward a defined sprint goal.

These elements provide the operational framework within which work is planned, executed, and monitored.
They are built on top of the foundational setup from Main setup section and are essential for the day-to-day functioning of the Agile PM module.
