How do I use ClickUp for project management?

1. If you're joining a team that's already using ClickUp, your priority should be to understand how they build their hierarchy. Even if you're using ClickUp yourself, your priority should be deciding what your hierarchy will look like.

2. Work cannot be transferred from one workspace to another, so ensure that all teams or departments that need to transfer information to ClickUp are in the same workspace. However, you can create as many workspaces as you want!

3. You can assign an unlimited number of people to a task. If someone only needs task visibility, you can add them as observers. You can set start and due dates (even specific times) for tasks. You can add subtasks, which are just a task within a task. You can add checklists, add attachments, and create and add ClickUp documents to tasks.

4. Like everything else in ClickUp, documents integrate seamlessly into the larger ClickUp ecosystem. So you can name a user, a task, or even another document in a document! You can integrate other resources both inside and outside of ClickUp. You can even create as many "pages" as you want in each document, which is a great way to create a glossary or wiki.
