# Opening the first project

You open a project using New project in the left menu. The project comes with four Kanban columns, and the opener becomes the project administrator.

- Company Administrator

- Users in the organisation (excluding those with the Customer role)

## Steps

- Click New project in the left menu 1.

- Enter the project name in the dialog box. If you want to start with ready-made tasks, select a template from the list below; to start empty, leave it on Empty project.

- Click Create or press Enter.

- The project opens and the Table tab appears.

## What comes with the project

- Kanban columns: To Do, In Progress, Reviewing, and Completed. The Completed column is marked as 'counts as done'.

- You are the Administrator of the project; you manage the team and columns.

> Tip: You can later change the project name, description, and colour from the Settings tab.
