# Understanding Projects & Epics

> Learn how the Project Management Dashboard treats Projects as Epics, and how epic details are organized inside each project page.

In the Notion Rhino Project Management Dashboard, **Projects and Epics are the same thing**. Each Project page represents an Epic — the title names it, and everything inside the page defines it.

This keeps your workspace clean and flat. Instead of managing a separate Epics database, all the detail lives inside the project itself.

## How it works

### The project title = the epic name

When you create a new project, the page title is the name of that epic. Keep it clear and outcome-focused.

Examples:

* `User research & discovery`
* `Design & prototyping`
* `Q3 marketing campaign`
* `Client onboarding — Acme Corp`

### Inside the project page = the epic details

Opening a project page reveals the full epic. The content inside is organized into **tabs**, each representing a different dimension of the work:

| Tab          | What it contains                                     |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Overview** | Goals, context, and success criteria for this epic   |
| **Tasks**    | Individual tasks and sub-tasks that make up the work |
| **Timeline** | Schedule and milestones                              |
| **Notes**    | Meeting notes, decisions, and updates                |

This tabbed structure keeps all the relevant detail in one place without cluttering the main dashboard view.

## The hierarchy in practice

```
Dashboard (top-level view)
└── Project page = Epic
    ├── Tab: Overview
    ├── Tab: Tasks
    ├── Tab: Timeline
    └── Tab: Notes
```

From the dashboard, you see all your epics at a glance. Click into any one to work inside it.

<Tip>
  Name your projects like deliverables, not vague categories. "Design homepage" is better than "Design work" — it's clear when it's done.
