osapi.jive.corev3.places.Project

A project is a place for recording progress towards a specific goal. A project must have a parent place--there are no global projects. Projects have associated Tasks with individual assignments and due dates. Projects can also have CheckPoints, which are simply a date and description of a checkpoint. An example JSON representation looks like this:
