title: Creating projects
description: Learn how to create a project in your Hanzo Team workspace.

## What are projects?
Projects are all the things your team will be working on, and can be organized however you'd like to suit your needs. For example, a software engineering team may choose to break their work into projects like "Frontend", "Backend", "UX/UI" and "Testing". A small business may choose to create projects like "Inventory", "Marketing," and "Design". However, you're welcome to set your projects up in any way — they simply represent distinct spaces that will contain your tasks.
## Creating a project
> **Note:** Only workspace owners and maintainers can create projects. To learn how to grant a user special permissions, see our guide on [roles](/docs/advanced-settings/roles).
Select the Tracker view by clicking the checkbox icon on the left sidebar, and ensure the side panel is open by clicking the horizontal lines at the top left.
Click the `+` icon that appears when hovering over "Your Projects" in the side panel, or click the dropdown menu next to the `+ New issue` button and select `Create project`. This will open a dialog where you can enter some initial settings for your project. After entering your desired settings, click `Create`.
Your projects are listed under **Your Projects** in the Tracker navigator. Each one expands to **Issues**, **Components**, **Milestones**, and **Templates**:

*The Tracker navigator: each project expands to Issues, Components, Milestones, and Templates.*
> **On mobile:** open the navigator from the app rail, then tap a project to expand it.
