Project Planning

Plan Your Projects Before You Build

Break down complex projects with work breakdown structures, estimate effort with time or story points, and track progress through milestones. Professional planning tools for teams that deliver.

Work Breakdown Structure

Decompose your project into a hierarchical structure of scope items. Create parent-child relationships to break down features into specific, actionable deliverables.

  • Unlimited Nesting - Break down work to any depth
  • Auto References - Generated IDs like PROJ-1, PROJ-2
  • Drag & Drop - Reorganize with intuitive controls

Flexible Estimation

Estimate work the way that fits your team. Use time-based estimates for traditional projects or story points for agile workflows.

Time Estimates

Estimate in hours or days for fixed-scope projects and accurate timeline planning.

Example:8 hours

Story Points

Use relative complexity scoring for agile teams and sprint capacity planning.

Example:5 points

Priority Levels

Mark items as low, medium, high, or urgent to help with resource allocation.

Example:High Priority

Track Progress Your Way

Choose how milestone progress is calculated. Use ticket counts for simple tracking, time estimates for deadline-focused projects, or story points for velocity-based planning.

  • Ticket Count - Equal weight for each completed item
  • Time Estimates - Weighted by estimated hours
  • Story Points - Weighted by complexity scores

Milestone-Based Planning

Organize your scope items into milestones representing project phases. Set due dates, assign owners, and track completion across your entire project timeline.

  • Due Dates - Set start and end dates for each phase
  • Ownership - Assign milestone owners for accountability
  • Completion Tracking - Mark milestones complete with audit trail

From Planning to Execution

Scope items bridge the gap between high-level planning and day-to-day tasks. Convert scope items to tickets when you're ready to start building.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Work Breakdown Structure is a hierarchical decomposition of a project into smaller, manageable pieces. In Asrify, you can create scope items with parent-child relationships to break down complex features into specific tasks.

Time estimates work well for fixed-scope projects where you need to track hours. Story points are better for agile teams focused on relative complexity. You can choose which method to use for progress tracking on each milestone.

Milestones represent project phases or deliverables with due dates. Scope items can be assigned to milestones, and the milestone progress is calculated based on the completion of its assigned scope items.

Yes! Scope items can have child tickets created from them, which appear on your Kanban board for day-to-day task management. This bridges planning and execution seamlessly.

Advanced project planning features are available for team projects on the Agency plan and above. This includes milestones, scope items, and all estimation features.
