Managing Project Categories

With project categories, you can organize your projects into logical groupings. For example, you can categorize your projects by function, say, marketing, design, and finance. If you provide services of some sort, you can categorize your projects by the type of company you are servicing, say, advertising agencies, marketing services, and accounting firms.

Ultimately, the way you structure your project categories depends on the industry you’re in and your own internal processes. Thus, it is recommended to concur with your team and discuss your processes among yourselves before setting up project categories in your AccuTask account.
