• Project Overview - The Project Overview Tab gives a stakeholder a quick view of the current state of the Project. At a glance, you are able to see the milestones and some key Project information.
• Details - The Project Details provides information about the project's purpose and scope. View this information to know more about the goals of the project.
• Scope Changes - Some projects can change dramatically in scope over the course of their life cycle. Record individual scope changes to the project and how it impacts the overall cost and delivery.
• Tasks - Tasks are a key aspect of all projects. Plan, schedule and assign tasks that are required to fulfil your project.

• Relationships - Associate related entities to the project and define how they are related. It is possible to relate Change and Release Requests, Services and Configuration Items if the Service Manager Application is also installed on your instance.
• Budgets - Understanding and managing the budget sources of a project can be complicated. Associate multiple budget lines to the project if it is funded from multiple sources.
• Costs - Understanding and managing the costs associated with a project is an important consideration. Associate estimated and actual costs to the project.
• RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) - Add and manage project Risks, Assumptions, Issues and Dependancies
