Oracle Product Development Business Objects in Project Tasks

You can manage Product Development projects only if you're a project enterprise resource, such as project manager or team member of projects, in the project plan.

Project managers with the appropriate privileges can perform the following actions:

• Open and manage project work items in Product Development.

• Navigate to the Project Management work area from the Relationships tab in items and change orders, and view summary information of the related object on hover.

• Define rules to specify statuses that determine when work items can be considered complete. When a work item reaches the appropriate status, the task is updated to complete.
