This is especially useful for teams working on multiple products or large products with distinct areas. Products and Product Areas ## Understanding the Structure ### Products Products are top-level organizational units: * **Example**: "Web App", "Mobile App", "API Platform" * Use when you have multiple distinct products * Each product can contain multiple product areas ### Product Areas Product Areas are sub-divisions within a product: * **Example**: "Authentication", "Dashboard", "Reporting", "Billing" * Items are assigned to product areas * Product areas appear as swimlanes on the Timeline View ``` Product: Web App ├── Product Area: User Management ├── Product Area: Dashboard └── Product Area: Reporting Product: Mobile App ├── Product Area: iOS └── Product Area: Android ``` ## Managing Products ### Creating a Product Navigate to workspace settings or use the sidebar. Click on the **Products** section. Click **+ Add Product** and enter the product name. Add Product ### Editing Products 1. Open the Products settings 2. Click on a product name 3. Update the name or other properties 4. Save changes ### Deleting Products 1. Open the Products settings 2. Click the delete icon next to a product 3. Confirm deletion Deleting a product will not delete associated items, but items will lose their product area assignment. ## Managing Product Areas ### Creating a Product Area Choose the product this area belongs to. Click **+ Add Product Area** within the product. Enter the name and optionally set a color. Add Product Area ### Product Area Colors Each product area can have a custom color that appears in: * Timeline View swimlanes * Item badges and cards * Filters and grouping ## Assigning Items to Product Areas ### Single Item 1. Open the item detail panel 2. Click the **Product Area** dropdown 3. Select a product area ### Bulk Assignment 1. Select multiple items 2. Click **Edit Selected** 3. Set the product area for all selected items ## Timeline Swimlanes When grouped by Product Area, the Timeline View displays swimlanes: Swimlane View * Each swimlane represents a product area * Items without a product area appear in an "Unassigned" swimlane * Collapse/expand swimlanes to focus on specific areas ## Filtering by Product Area Use filters to focus on specific areas: 1. Open the filter bar 2. Click **Product Area** 3. Select one or more product areas 4. View only items in those areas Filters persist when switching between views. See [Using Filters](/docs/filters/using-filters) for more details. ## Best Practices Align product areas with team ownership for clear accountability. Start with fewer, broader product areas and add more as needed. Choose a color palette that's easy to distinguish across your product areas. Update product areas as your product evolves to keep the structure relevant. ## Related Align items with strategic priorities. See product areas as swimlanes.
