Projects / Goals only visible on invitation

[Fay Scheltinga]

Is it possible to actively not-show projects? For instance, we have a strategic project which we don't want to share with the total population, not even it's existance. But we do want to inform a specific group of stakeholders. So only those who are actively invited to follow will see the project/goal. 

Sometimes these projects or goals remain 'secret', sometimes we will 'release' them later on. 

Is something like this possible or on the roadmap?

Hi @Fay Scheltinga

Yes, it is possible to create private projects if you're using the Atlas Standard (paid) plan.  Here is an article about it:  Restrict the viewing and editing of projects | Atlas Help Center (intercom.help)

However, the same feature is not available for goals (AFAIK).

Also, the article mentions that a private project cannot be made public. So, I'm not sure how feasible or convenient it will be to "release" a private project later on. You may want to investigate that in advance.

Hope this helps!

This is good to know - I'm assuming this will move into Jira "Platform Experience" once Atlas is migrated into the core product which would be great.  (as we're just using the free version, but this looks very useful)

Thanks for the help Aaron! Indeed, not being able to make it public later on may be an issue. Another option for the time being is to just create a new project, linked to the 'secret' one. So you still have all the necesary information together. 

I'm going to play with it :) Thanks!
