Terminology

Term Meaning
Organization A shared workspace boundary for people, Projects, and settings.
Project A focused body of work inside an Organization.
Work Item A Task, Bug, Story, Feature, or Epic tracked in a Project.

Backlog The Project view for Work Items not assigned to a Sprint.
Sprint A time-boxed planning and delivery cycle.
Application A first-party Hamstik capability installed for an Organization or Project.

Hamstik uses Organization in its public API and product UI. Older internal material may use “tenant” for the same ownership boundary; that is an implementation term, not the public product name.
