Public Projects

Public projects are a great way to share any project with your community. Share your product roadmap, best practice guides, marketing plans, or community update -the possibilities are endless.
When you mark a project is public, you can then share the link with anyone, and also embed the project in your own websites & blogs.

Making a project public grants anyone on the internet access to see a limited set of information on the project. You have control over which data fields are visible.

Much like other public communication like a blog post, marketing video or an email, you’ll want to create a Private project first where you and your team can work out ideas and coordinate on what you want to share. Once it is ready, mark the project public and let the world benefit from your ideas.

How do I make a project public?

Avaza Admins, Portfolio Managers & Project Managers can configure project visibility.
Portfolio Managers and Project Managers must be a member of the project in order to update the project visibility.

Here are the steps

Select your initial grouping. Public projects support all the groupings currently available in Avaza Projects. In addition to that we have also added the “No Grouping” option if you prefer to share a flat list without any grouping.

What does a public project look like?

A Public project has a stylish, user-friendly read-only view of your project. It is designed for easy consumption of information on devices of all shapes and sizes. Users can scroll through the task list, open tasks for further details, search and share the public project with others.
