Quire organizes work using a hierarchical structure: **Organizations** → **Projects** → **Tasks** → **Subtasks**. Understanding this hierarchy helps teams collaborate efficiently and manage projects effectively.

## 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**.

**Note:** Adding members at the **organization level** allows Admin, Normal+, or Limited+ members to access all projects within that organization. Learn more about [organization permission role](/content/guide/permission-role/#organization-level/index.html).

## Projects  
A **project** is a container for tasks. Use a project to organize work toward a larger goal, breaking it into smaller actionable tasks.

Projects in the sidebar are grouped by Organization.

Project name shown in the main panel.

**Note:** Adding members at the **project level** limits their access to only the specific project. Learn more about [project permission role](/content/guide/permission-role/#project-level/index.html).

## Tasks  
A **task** is the basic unit of action in Quire. Tasks can be broken down into **subtasks**, **sub-subtasks**, and more, helping teams organize work hierarchically.

You can:

- Add a [description](/content/guide/descriptions/index.html) to explain the task
- Post [comments](/content/guide/comments/index.html) for team discussions
- [Assign](/content/guide/set-assignee/index.html) tasks to yourself or others
- Set [start and due dates](/content/guide/set-date-time/index.html)
- Add [tags](/content/guide/assign-tags/index.html) for categorization
- Set [priority levels](/content/guide/set-priority/index.html) to indicate importance
