The job of this console
See pipeline health, open the stage that is stuck, and only then spawn delivery on a real project.
Projects · NPD
NPD
New product development tower — ideas, gates, launch — on NPD records that still respect Project when delivery starts.
Scroll to Flowcharts. Scenario: Scan NPD pipeline and open a gate.
Product process
Ideas to gates to launch — then a project
NPD is the product-development tower. When you start building, Project (and PO when used) becomes the delivery source.

NPD is not Task
Ideas and gates are process records. Hours and capacity need Project / Employee.
