Fast definition

Quick answer

Project intake gathers the information needed to start a project properly. In practice, it helps a business capture project scope, requirements, constraints, files, stakeholders, and decisions before delivery starts. A strong project intake setup connects customer context, timing, ownership, and next steps instead of leaving the workflow in disconnected notes or spreadsheets. Crewlee treats it as part of the lead-to-invoice operating layer so teams can act with more confidence.
