What? The benefit of custom objects is that they contain information that is precisely tailored to your needs. When you design custom objects, you are creating templates for these objects, and specifying how they will be used and behave in the future – what data they will contain, and how it will be organized and presented
Why? Every enterprise has different processes and procedures. Object Designer allows enterprise to customize objects like requests or assets to collect important and relevant information to build their workflows and projects while building a robust content management system

What? The Project Designer allows you to create predefined project templates that can be used and reused to manage multi-task activities, such as setting up and provisioning new employees, change requests like upgrading servers, and more.

For example, two tasks may be performed by different people at different times, but one task relies on output of another task. Templates can (and should) be used for many non IT business processes, like employee recruitment, performance reviews, marketing initiatives, and more.
