Core concepts
The mental model behind Aztra — how workspaces, projects, issues, goals, and XP fit together.
Aztra has a small set of concepts that everything else builds on. Understanding how they relate makes the rest of the platform click.
The hierarchy
- Workspace — your team's home. Everything lives inside it: people, projects, goals, the wiki, and the leaderboard.
- Project — a container for a body of work (a product, team, or initiative). Each project has its own views, labels, statuses, and issues.
- Issue — the unit of work: a task, bug, or feature. Issues have a status, an assignee, and can be linked to goals.
- Goal — an outcome you're driving toward. Link issues to a goal and progress rolls up automatically as they're completed.
- Wiki — your team's knowledge base for docs, decisions, and context.
- XP & leaderboard — completing real work earns XP and moves you up the seasonal leaderboard.
The key relationship: issues are linked to goals, so finishing work updates goal progress without anyone reporting status by hand.
How a piece of work flows
It starts as an issue
Created in a project, with a status and an assignee.
It moves through your workflow
For example Todo → In progress → In review → Done.
It rolls up to a goal
If linked, the goal's progress advances when the issue is completed.
It earns XP
Completed work contributes XP toward the leaderboard.
People and access
Everyone in a workspace has a role (Owner, Admin, Manager, or Member) that controls what they can see and change. See Roles & permissions for the full picture.
Where to go next
- Plan & track work — projects, issues, and views.
- Align on goals — set outcomes and track them.
- Knowledge & collaboration — capture what your team knows.
