What is a Project in TeamDynamix?  a Project is a unit of project management in TeamDynamix.  It is designed to produce a unique product, service or result from the collective effort of a team of individuals.  It is marked by a beginning and end, although this can be changed before or during the execution of the project.  It contains a collection of Project Plans that can be created, modified or deleted while the project is being created, or before, during or after its completion.  These plans can either be tabular (Waterfall Plans) or board-based (Card Wall Plans), which specific features and benefits unique to each type, and are used to further break down the project into a series of endeavors or steps.  It contains various roject sections, such as Risks, Benefits and Time Types that allow you to further configure or integrate the project with the rest of the system.

What is a Workspace in TeamDynamix?  The Workspace acts and functions similar to Projects, but with fewer available actions and less admininstration and management overhead.  Workspaces function as collaborative platforms and will not have provisions for scheduling or time tracking.
