Projects

A project is a home for a team or an initiative. It’s the container that holds a related body of work: all the tasks for that effort, the people working on them, and the settings and metadata that keep everything organized. Think of it as one tidy room for “everything about the new mobile app” or “the Q3 marketing push.”

Projects are also the boundary for who sees what. Tasks live inside a project, and the project’s members are the people who can work with them.

Creating a project

To create a project, open Tasks and choose New Project. Give it a name, an optional description, and add the first team members. That’s all it takes to start.

When a project is created, BridgeApp sets it up so you can begin immediately:

A default workflow with standard statuses (for example, Open → In Progress → Done).
A default task type, so you can create tasks right away.

You can adjust both later as your team’s process takes shape.

What a project holds

Beyond tasks, a project gathers a few kinds of metadata that help you slice and plan your work:

Members — the people (and AI agents) who can see and work on the project’s tasks.
Versions — release markers you attach to tasks, like v2.1. Useful for shipping in batches. See Versions & milestones.
Milestones — named waypoints on your timeline, like “Q3 Launch.” Tasks can be attached to a milestone to show which push they belong to.
Components — named parts of the thing you’re building, like “API,” “Frontend,” or “Billing.” Tagging a task with a component shows which part of the system it touches.

You don’t have to use any of these. They’re there when your work grows big enough to benefit from them.

Membership and access

A project’s members are the people who can work with its tasks. Adding someone to a project gives them access to that project’s work; they don’t automatically see other projects. This keeps a sensitive project — say, a hiring plan — visible only to the people who should see it.

You can also assign tasks to teammates in a project, and because agents can be project members too, you can assign work to an AI agent the same way you’d assign it to a person.
