How to determine which type of business project was created in Jira Data Center

Jira Data Center allows you to create three "types" of Business projects: Project management, Process management, or Tasks management.

Two questions about this.

1) Can someone point me to the Atlassian documentation that describes the differences (assuming there are any) between these three types?

2) Is there a way to determine which type was selected when an existing Business project was created?

Regards - Steve Janvrin.

@Steven Janvrin I am not aware of any documentation that shows the differences between the different types.  However when you go to create one it shows you what is included so you can compare the differences between the options and choose which one will work best for you.  The difference is going to be in the issue types and workflow.  I believe that all three of the shared project types all use the same issue types of task and sub-task.  The workflows will be different though.  For project management I believe the workflow is to do > in progress > done while on the task management it is to do > done.

As for knowing which template was used you would have to look at the workflow.  The issue is that can be changed after the project was created so only if they left it the same would you have an idea of what was used when the project was created.

If you go to the Administration Menu > Projects and enter to one of the projects You can see the Issue type scheme, Workflow Scheme and Issue type Screen Scheme.
