Project Templates & Creation in TaskRely
TaskRely doesn't hand you a gallery of project types to pick from. Instead, every new project starts from the same sensible default: a working set of statuses, priorities, sizes, and labels already filled in, so you're never staring at a completely blank board on day one. That starting set is the closest thing to a "template" here - and it's yours to keep, rename, or throw out entirely.
Starting a project
Click New project, give it a name, and click Continue - that's the short version. For the full click-by-click walkthrough, see Create a project. This guide picks up right where that one leaves off: what you actually get once the project exists.
The default elements
Unless you turn them off, a new project comes pre-loaded with:
- Statuses (your board's columns): Backlog, Ready, In Progress, In Review, Done.
- Priorities: P0, P1, P2, P3.
- Sizes: S, M, L, XL.
- Labels: enhancement, bug, documentation, duplicate, good first issue, help wanted, invalid, question, wontfix.
- Departments: Research, Development, Content Writing, SEO, Social Media Management, Production Management.
Each one already has a color assigned too, so the board reads cleanly the moment you land on it. None of this is fixed - it's a starting point, not a rule. Rename "P0" to whatever your team actually calls urgent, delete the labels you'll never use, or add a status the list doesn't have.
Starting from scratch instead
On the same screen where you see these defaults, there's a checkbox: "Skip default options. I will create my own options." Tick it and the sample statuses, priorities, sizes, and labels don't get created - you build every one yourself from an empty list. Departments are the one exception: they're always created regardless, since every project needs at least one team to assign work to.
Changing things later
Whichever way you started, none of it is permanent. Add, rename, recolor, reorder, or delete any of these from the project's settings at any point - see Project settings & access for exactly how that works.
