Projects and Activities : Project Overview
Project Overview

You can define two types of projects:

*
Use regular projects for ongoing projects, such as updating your community directory.
*
Use activity managed projects for campaigns that have:
*
Fixed start and end dates
*
Include steps that need to be completed in order. You can assign due dates and dependencies to each activity, so that if one step is incomplete, the remaining steps won't start.

For example, you might have a project to communicate with suppliers, as shown in the following graphic.
