Public projects are used for internal or cross- collaboration. Private projects are great for non-collaborative projects or projects you might share with an external party.

Both project types appear to have the same structure, but Private projects do not relate (Relation) to anything else. This allows all Private projects to be self-contained, allowing for easier sharing and control of permissions.
