Epics & Projects
Projects are where work lives; epics group related projects under a larger initiative.
Projects
The PM home page lists every project you can access as a grid of cards. Each card shows the project's methodology, story count, and member count.
Creating a project
Click New Project and fill in:
- Name — required (up to 100 characters). Hubrix generates a URL slug from the name automatically.
- Description — optional.
- Methodology — Kanban (default) or Scrum. See the overview for the difference.
- Private — when on, the project is visible only to its members. Public projects are visible to everyone in your company.
Project lifecycle
A project's status can be active, on hold, completed, or archived. To take a project out of active use without deleting it, set its status to archived — archived projects are hidden from the default project grid. Deleting a project permanently removes its stories, sprints, labels, and history, and is restricted to the project owner.
Members and roles
Open a project's Settings to manage who can access it. Each member has a role:
| Role | Typical capabilities |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full control, including deleting the project. |
| Admin | Manage members, settings, sprints, and stories. |
| Member | Create and edit stories, move cards, run sprints. |
| Viewer | Read-only access. |
Add a member by selecting a teammate and a role; you can change a member's role or remove them at any time.
Epics
Epics sit above projects. An epic is a company-level initiative — for example "Mobile launch" or "SOC 2 readiness" — that several projects contribute to. Open Epics from the PM header to see them.
Creating an epic
Give an epic a title, and optionally a description, a colour, an owner, and start / end dates. Once an epic exists, you can attach a project to it so that the project rolls up under the initiative. Epics can be active, completed, or archived.
Epics are optional. Many teams run perfectly well with projects alone and only introduce epics when they need to track several projects toward one big goal.
Milestones
A project can also carry milestones — named target dates within the project — to mark important checkpoints such as a beta date or a release.
