Templates and initiatives for structured, multi-project delivery | July 30th, 2025
📝 Updated Project and Work item templates
Work items in Project templates
Define initial work items that automatically create when teams start new projects, helping them get up and running faster with pre-structured tasks tailored to your project type.
Sub-work items in Work item templates
Structure complex tasks from the start by defining sub-work items that automatically create along with the main work item, ensuring comprehensive task breakdown right from creation.
🎯 Revamped Initiatives
We've completely redesigned Initiatives to give you powerful new ways to track progress and manage scope across multiple projects. Initiatives now offer two distinct views accessible through the top navigation dropdown.

Initiative Overview provides a bird's-eye view with comprehensive scope breakdown, completion percentages, and progress visualization across different states.
Initiative Scope shows all building blocks in detail - manage epics from different projects centrally and track connected projects with completion rates and timelines.
