What are “project categories” in Riffle and how do they apply to my work?

Project categories help you easily tell Riffle what types of work you do at your company.

Written by Jen Gadus

When you sign up, Riffle presents you with a list of project categories to choose from—this list drives your project prioritization.


Where do I see project categories?

You select your preferred project categories during onboarding, which helps Riffle understand the type of work you do without being overwhelming.


Where do I see project types?

Each project will have a project type assigned to it, based on the content of the ITB Riffle found. You can edit this auto-assigned project type at anytime via the Project Information panel.
