Organizations

An organization in Quire represents a company, department, or team working on multiple projects together. Each organization can have one or more projects, and each project can have tasks and subtasks.

For example, if you are the CEO of a company with multiple departments (Marketing, Accounting, HR, IT), each department can be an organization. Within the Marketing organization, you can create projects like Social Media Campaigns, Brand Awareness, and Advertising Campaigns.
