WorkItem is typically a unit of work, task, bug report, user story, or any other trackable item that represents a piece of work to be completed or managed within a project. WorkItems are at the core of Zymmr's project management and WorkItem tracking capabilities.
They help teams plan, track, collaborate, and report on work items throughout the project lifecycle.
Title typically refers to the name or label given to a specific WorkItem within a project. It's a short description that succinctly conveys what the WorkItem is about.
Description refers to a detailed explanation or narrative that provides information about a specific task. The WorkItem description outlines the scope, objectives, requirements, and other relevant details of the WorkItem. It serves as a comprehensive document that helps team members and stakeholders understand the task's purpose, context, and specific requirements.
An WorkItem Key refers to a unique identifier assigned to each individual WorkItem
The Project Name refers to the unique and descriptive title given to a specific project
An WorkItem Type refers to a categorisation or classification of a work item or task that is being managed within a project.The concept of WorkItem types allows you to define and differentiate various types of work, such as tasks, bugs, user stories, and more, based on their nature and purpose.
WorkItem Priority in Zymmr refers to the relative importance or urgency assigned to a specific task within a project. It helps project managers and teams determine which tasks should be addressed first and allocate resources accordingly.
WorkItem status refers to the current state or condition of a specific task within a project. It indicates whether the task is complete, in progress, or facing any challenges. Tracking WorkItem statuses is crucial for effective project monitoring, communication, and decision-making. WorkItem statuses help project managers and team members understand where things stand, identify potential issues, and make informed adjustments to keep the project on track.
Primary Assignee refers to the person who is primarily responsible for completing a specific WorkItem.

Story Points are a unit of measurement used in Agile methodologies, such as Scrum, to estimate the effort and complexity of individual user stories or tasks within a project. Story points are a relative measure, meaning they don't represent specific units of time (like hours or days) but rather a way to compare the effort required for different tasks relative to each other.
Estimate Effort of a WorkItem refers to the expected amount of time required to complete that specific WorkItem. It's a projection of the effort needed to accomplish the WorkItem’s objectives.
Logged time refers to the amount of time that team members or individuals have recorded as the actual time spent working on a specific WorkItem. Logging time helps track and manage the actual effort invested in tasks, allowing project managers and teams to compare the estimated effort against the real effort expended.
Remaining time refers to the amount of time that is still needed to complete a specific task or activity, based on the initial estimated effort and the logged time up to the current point. Calculating remaining time involves comparing the estimated effort with the time that has already been logged for the WorkItem.
