Work Packs

Work packs can be created which consist of collections of items with shared Project management requirements or properties. For example, all the items an individual user or group of users is concerned with may be assigned to a single work pack. Time constraints may be assigned to work packs, for example the required start and completion dates of items in a work pack, so that work can be more easily prioritised.
