# Create a basic project

A basic project is used for a simple workflow to collaborate on content and assign tasks.

> [!tip]
> To make project creation easier, you can [use a project template](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/set-a-project-as-a-template.html "Set a project as a template"). To do so, in the **New project** dialog, select **From template**.

To create a basic project:

1. On the menu bar, click **Project** > **Projects**.
2. On the **Projects** page, click **New project**.
3. In the **New project** dialog, select **Basic project**, and enter the following details:
    - **Name** - the name of the project. This field is required.
    - **Start Date** - the date the project is to start. Click the [date picker](https://mss-p-003-delivery.stylelabs.cloud/api/public/content/13b1b9529744437badc047705d0b7d67?v=28ada6ce) or enter a date.
    - **Duration** - the duration of the project in days.
4. Click **Create**. The project is added to the list of available projects. Click the project title to open the project details page, where you can [add content](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/add-content.html "Add content"), [define tasks](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/create-a-task.html "Create a task"), [build the budget](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/build-a-budget.html "Build a budget"), and [view project resources](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/plan-resources.html "Plan resources"). For supplementary information that is not part of the project workflow, you can [attach content](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/attach-content.html "Attach content") to the project.
