So you are ready to start organising your work in Nestr? This article will give you a quick overview of how work in Nestr functions.

Projects

All work items within Nestr are broadly separated into Projects and Tasks. A Project is any piece of work that requires one or more tasks to complete, for example "Write a new blog post" or "Design a product feature". Projects are owned by specific Roles, giving them clear accountability.

Looking across circles and roles, one can follow Projects organised by status and Tasks per Role and per person.

Tasks

A Task is a single action, for example "Get feedback from design team" or "Correct spelling mistakes". A task is owned by an individual person. You can create subtasks and subtasks inside the project, that can be assigned to other people as well.

Commenting and Mentioning your peers

Working together often requires communicating with your peers. Within each task or project, you can have a discussion right there in context, by simply clicking "Comment" at the bottom of the page. You can mention your colleague to highlight something of importance by typing @name_of_your_collegue to mention them and they will get notified of your question.
