SESSION SUMMARY[edit | edit source]

Why use Phabricator?[edit | edit source]

Works well for structured work within an organization. While there are certain features built with developers in mind, it can be used for organizational work as well.

The work is visible to everyone, with certain exceptions. As with revisions on wikis, contributions are preserved on the record.
