Bring your team’s work together.
Give a real team one place to manage and follow its projects, tasks, and everyday follow-ups.
For example: Documentation team, Management team, or Product Development team.
Follow a selected group of projects.
Bring similar projects together to review their managers, progress, and schedules.
For example: air-source heat pump installations in one Workspace and ground-source heating installations in another.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Workspace in Starbrix Core?
A Workspace can be a shared place for a real team’s projects and activities, or a focused overview of a selected group of projects. Choose the Workspace on the projects or activities you want to include.
Can we group projects by the kind of work we deliver?
Yes. For example, a heating installation company can follow air-source heat pump projects in one Workspace and ground-source heating projects in another. Select the relevant Workspace on each project.
Can tasks have different Workspace associations from their parent project?
Yes. Projects, tasks, to-dos, and calendar events have independent Workspace associations.
Can one Workspace bring together activities from several projects?
Yes. Associate relevant activities with the Workspace while keeping them in their original projects.
What does Workspace Kanban display?
