Taxonomy

Taxonomy in One Horizon helps you organize and categorize your work using a structured system of labels, components, products, and other metadata.

What is Taxonomy?

Taxonomy provides a way to classify and organize work items, initiatives, and tasks using consistent categories. This helps with:

• Organizing work across projects
• Filtering and searching for specific items
• Tracking work by different dimensions

Under the hood they're essentially all tags, just of different types/categories with specific enrichments that make them more useful for certain use cases.

Taxonomy Elements

Labels

Flexible tags for categorizing work items by any criteria.

Components

Technical components, services, or modules in your system.

Products

Products or product lines that work items relate to.

Companies

Organizations or business units involved in the work.

Goals

Strategic goals that initiatives contribute to.

Dependencies

Relationships between different work items.

Code Languages

Programming languages used in the work.

Managing Taxonomy

Taxonomy elements can be created and managed at the workspace level, ensuring consistency across teams and projects. They can be applied to initiatives to provide rich metadata and enable powerful filtering and analytical capabilities.

However, the idea is that you do not need to optimize them, that's what our AI & algorithms are for. You just focus on building great products!
