# Projects

Projects bring together the issues needed to achieve an outcome. Use the overview to describe the work and the issue list to track execution.

## Create a project

1. Open the **Projects** list from the sidebar.
2. Select **New project**.
3. Enter the project name, project key, and summary.
4. Select **Create project**.

## Edit the overview

In **Overview**, edit the name, icon, summary, and description. Properties include status, priority, lead, members, labels, start date, and target date. Statuses are planned, in progress, paused, completed, and canceled.

Select an [initiative](https://orchestor.io/docs/workspace/initiatives.md) in the properties to associate the project with a shared goal.

## Manage issues

The **Issues** tab shows issues in this project. Issues created here have this project selected.

To add an existing issue, change its project. See [Edit issues](https://orchestor.io/docs/workspace/editing-issues.md).

## Plan work

Use [milestones](https://orchestor.io/docs/workspace/project-milestones.md) to define checkpoints within the project. Track work that depends on other projects with [project dependencies](https://orchestor.io/docs/workspace/project-dependencies.md).
