How the model is organised

Client context

Organizations anchor Projects and their owner in team members.

Delivery plan

Work packages belong to Projects; Tasks belong to work packages and can point to Projects.

Studio follow-up

Creative milestones, revision requests and Risks point to Projects and name team members as owners.

Time and evidence

Time entries link a team members row to Projects and optionally Tasks. Review decisions, operation receipts and record attachments preserve decisions and evidence.

Access records

Users holds account identity and a basic role value.

Keys and references

The project reference is the thread across the engagement. A task’s required work package keeps execution with the planned scope. A time entry requires a team member and project; its task reference is optional. Revision requests and creative milestones require their project. Review decisions use a subject type and text reference, so agree how that reference matches a real delivery record before use.

Migration order

  1. Organizations and people. Bring in Organizations, team members and Users first.
  2. Engagements. Add Projects with owners, dates and budget.
  3. Delivery structure. Add work packages, Tasks and creative milestones.
  4. Follow-up. Add revision requests, Risks and time entries after the referenced projects exist.
  5. Evidence. Add review decisions, operation receipts and record attachments with their intended subject references.
