Phase Overview
Rocketlane offers a phased approach to project management, allowing teams to break down projects into distinct phases to manage them more effectively. Each phase represents a specific stage in the project lifecycle and helps teams organize their work, track progress, and achieve project goals.
You can perform basic functions around a phase that include adding tasks, start and end dates, and marking a phase as private or shared.
