Introduction

...

The Scope module is a customizable task list. Using this module, you can freely arrange columns, switch between views, and show aggregated values. Double-click on a column's edge to adjust its width to the longest record in the current view.

You can also update your tasks directly using the interface and, for example, use it as a Backlog. Another common example is using for reporting.
