Organize Projects in Loop

Workspace Setup

To organize projects, make a new workspace for each one. This helps you keep things neat and easy to find. Loop lets you set up a workspace that is like a home for your team. You can put all your notes, files, and tasks in one place. You do not need to use many apps or look through lots of emails.

Tip: One workspace for each project keeps things simple and helps your team stay focused.

Here is why this setup is helpful:

• All project materials stay together, so nothing gets lost.

• Everyone knows where to find updates or documents.

• You can invite only the right people to each workspace, so only the right team members see the project details.

Loop’s workspaces help you organize projects because you can add pages for topics, tasks, or meetings. You can also use Loop components, like lists or tables, that update right away. These tools help your team stay on track and work well together.

Teams using Loop often see better project clarity and efficiency because:

• All project content is in one place.

• You get updates right away in Microsoft 365 apps like Teams and Outlook.

• You can put task lists and decision trackers right into your chats and emails.

Naming and Structure

A good workspace needs clear names and a simple setup. When you organize projects, pick names that show what the workspace is for. For example, if you are working on a new website, name the workspace “Website Redesign” instead of “Project 1.”

Here are some tips for naming and setting up your workspaces:

• Use the same style for all project names. Choose all lowercase, all uppercase, or capitalize the first letter of each word.

• Decide if you want to use spaces, dashes, or camelCase (like “WebsiteRedesign” or “website-redesign”) and always use the same one.

• Keep names short and clear. Do not use special symbols that might confuse people.

• Group workspaces by team, business area, or project type. This helps you find what you need faster.

Note: Making a simple naming guide for your team helps everyone follow the same rules.

Try this naming format:
scope-type-identifier
For example, “marketing-campaign-spring2024” or “product-feature-login.”

To keep your workspace setup easy to use:

1. Group projects by their main topic or team.

2. Do not make too many layers—try to keep pages only two or three levels deep.

3. Tag each project with its scope and type, like “feature” or “ui,” so you can find things fast.

4. Set clear rules for what goes in each workspace, so everyone knows where to put new pages or files.

A clear setup in Loop helps you organize projects and find information fast. Workspaces are like hubs, pages help you sort ideas and documents, and Loop components keep everything linked. This makes it easy to move around and manage your projects without getting lost.

Pages and Components

Creating Pages

You can start organizing your project by creating pages inside your Loop workspace. Each page acts like a digital notebook for a specific topic, meeting, or task. For example, you might make a page for your project plan, another for meeting notes, and one for tracking issues. This way, you keep everything in one spot and avoid losing important details.

Most teams create pages for:

• Project plans

• Task lists

• Meeting notes

• Issue tracking

When you add a new page, you can use it to collect ideas, assign tasks, or share updates. You can also mention teammates using @ to get their attention. Pages in Loop connect with Microsoft Planner, so you can see all your project details in one place.

Tip: Make a separate page for each big task or topic. This keeps your workspace tidy and easy to navigate.

Using Templates

Loop makes it easy to get started with templates. These templates give you a head start by adding the right sections and sample content for common project needs. You can pick from templates like project brief, issue tracker, meeting notes, or even a kanban board.

Here’s a quick look at some popular templates and how they help:

Templates save you time and help your team follow the same process every time. You can also customize them to fit your project.

Embedding Components

Loop lets you add interactive components to your pages. These include task lists, tables, checklists, and notes. You can even add Planner tasks, Trello boards, or Jira issues. When you update a component, everyone sees the change right away, no matter where they view it.

• Add a task list to assign work and set due dates.

• Use tables to organize data or track progress.

• Brainstorm ideas with bulleted lists.

• Mention teammates to assign tasks or ask questions.

Note: Live updates mean your team always works with the latest info. You spend less time in meetings and more time getting things done.

Loop components work across Microsoft 365 apps like Teams and Outlook. This keeps your project moving and your team connected, even if you work from different places.

Collaboration

Sharing and Permissions

You want your team to work together, but you also need to keep your project safe. Loop makes it easy to control who can see or edit your work. You can share a whole workspace, a single page, or even just one component. When you share, you pick if someone can only view, comment, or edit. This helps you keep sensitive info secure while letting the right people join in.

Tip: For important pages, set them to read-only for most people and give edit rights only to co-owners. This keeps your project safe and organized.

Here’s how you can manage sharing and permissions:

1. Decide what you want to share—workspace, page, or component.

2. Choose who gets access: your whole team, a few people, or anyone with a link.

3. Set the right permission: view-only, comment, or edit.

4. Adjust settings in Teams or Outlook if you use Loop there.

5. Use restricted links for extra security when needed.

Loop uses Microsoft 365’s security, so you get strong protection and familiar controls. Right now, sharing works best inside your company, but guest sharing is coming soon.

Assigning Tasks

You can keep your team on track by assigning tasks right inside Loop. Assign each task to the person who fits best. Make sure everyone knows what they need to do and when it’s due. This helps avoid confusion and keeps your project moving.

• Set clear goals for each task.

• Match tasks to people’s strengths.

• Use @mentions to assign and notify teammates.

• Check in often to see how things are going.

• Celebrate when tasks get done!

When you assign tasks in Loop, everyone sees their work and deadlines. This makes it easy to spot problems early and fix them before they slow you down.

Real-Time Updates

Loop gives you real-time updates, so your team always knows what’s happening. When someone changes a page or checks off a task, everyone sees it right away. This keeps everyone on the same page and helps you avoid mistakes.

Real-time updates help you spot roadblocks early, keep everyone engaged, and make decisions quickly. Your team works better together, and your projects finish faster.

Task Management

Task Lists and Boards

You can manage your project tasks in Loop using both lists and boards. Task Lists give you a simple table view, while Kanban Boards let you move tasks through different stages. This flexibility helps you see your work in the way that fits your team best.

• Task Lists let you organize tasks in a clear, easy-to-read table.

• Kanban Boards show tasks as cards you can move from “To Do” to “Done.”

• You can switch between list and board views to match your workflow.

• Task Lists sync with Microsoft Planner and To Do, so you keep everything connected.

• Kanban Boards let you add custom fields and checklists for more detail.

Tip: Use Kanban Boards for visual tracking and Task Lists for quick sorting and syncing with other tools.

Integration with Microsoft 365

Loop works smoothly with Microsoft 365, making your project management even easier. You can create interactive tables, lists, and documents right inside your workspace. These components update in real time, so everyone sees the latest changes.

• Loop syncs with Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint, so your content stays up to date everywhere.

• You can embed Loop components in chats, emails, and meetings.

• Assign tasks in Loop and see them show up in Outlook calendars.

• Share pages or components with your team or guests using simple links.

• Loop also connects with tools like Trello, Jira, and GitHub.

This integration keeps your team on the same page and cuts down on switching between apps.

Common ways to track progress in Loop include:

• Task completion rate
