How to use it well

Plane becomes easier to manage when projects, modules and cycles each have a distinct role. Use projects for lasting areas, modules for related work and cycles for commitments that belong to a defined period.

Use projects to separate products, modules to group larger work, and cycles for time-bounded delivery. Give issues clear completion criteria before assigning a cycle. Start with Community requirements and compare commercial-only features before committing to an installation design.
