# Create your first project

> How to create a project in Collabase Projects, start from a project template, and add project members with the Owner, Member or Viewer role.

A project collects the tasks for one piece of work, such as a release, a service desk or a customer rollout. Projects live in the **Projects** app of a Space. Each project has its own workflow, task types, members and settings.

## Create a project from a template

Your administrator can prepare project templates. A template brings a workflow, task types, field collections and the views the project uses.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Space">
    Go to the Space where the project belongs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click + New Project">
    The project creation dialog opens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a template">
    Pick a template from the gallery. Each template shows its workflow, task types and field collections.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create Project">
    Collabase applies the template's configuration to the new project.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If there is no fitting template, you can set up the workflow, task types and fields yourself. See [Setting up a project](/docs/projects/project-setup).

## Add project members

Space membership does not give access to every project. Add people under **Project → Settings → Members**.

| Role       | What they can do                                                          |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Owner**  | Configures the project, including workflow, members and SLA policies.     |
| **Member** | Creates, assigns, updates and resolves tasks. Manages sprints and queues. |
| **Viewer** | Reads tasks and all views.                                                |

## Views

Switch views with the view toggle in the top bar of the project.

| View           | Best for                                         |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Board**      | Moving tasks between status columns              |
| **Work Items** | A sortable table to search and review many tasks |
| **Sprints**    | Tracking the active sprint                       |
| **Backlog**    | Tasks not yet planned into a sprint              |
| **Roadmap**    | A timeline of tasks with start and due dates     |
| **Queues**     | Triage by named filters                          |
