I found some information on Prefect projects, workers, and work pools. Here's a brief overview:
-
Projects: In Prefect, projects are a way to organize and manage your flows. They help you group related flows together and provide a convenient way to manage permissions and access control. You can create, edit, and manage projects through the Prefect UI, API, or CLI.
-
Work Pools: Work pools are used to manage the flow runs for scheduled deployments. They act as a bridge between the orchestration environment (Prefect Server or Prefect Cloud) and the execution environment. Work pools gather flow runs, and agents pick up work from their configured work pool queues. You can configure work pools to handle specific flow runs based on tags and deployments.
-
Workers: Workers are lightweight polling services that retrieve scheduled runs from a work pool and execute them. They are similar to agents but offer greater control over infrastructure configuration and the ability to route work to specific types of execution environments. Workers have a type corresponding to the execution environment to which they will submit flow runs, and they can only join work pools that match their type.
For more information, you can refer to the following Prefect documentation pages:

Work Pools, Workers & Agents

Work Pools in Prefect UI
I hope this helps clarify the relationship between projects, workers, and work pools in Prefect.
