Project overview starts with resources, docs, and milestones
Give the project one planning surface with linked resources, internal docs, and milestones so setup begins from the real work object.
Why this can grow a startup
New users drop when the planning context lives in five separate places. A single overview that can hold the summary, resources, docs, and milestones turns the product into a working room instead of a maze of tabs. It shortens time to first useful plan and makes the setup feel concrete enough to trust.
Company example
Linear project overview pages let teams add summaries, resource links, internal documents, and milestones in one place so planning can begin inside the project from the start.

When to use it
Use this when Product, Website, Onboarding is relevant to activation, setup UX, workflow design and you can run a bounded test with a medium budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
