Product owner has created stories in the last article. Now it’s the turn of the project manager to create projects in ZenTao.

1. Create a Project

1.1 Go to Project and click Create Project.

1.2 The page to create a project will pop out.

Set fields such as project name, alias, begin and end time, team name, project goals, and project descriptions. Link Product can be left empty.

• A  difference from the simple workflow of ZenTao we have mentioned is that a product should be linked to the project when you are creating it, and it can be multiple products. 
• The project can set access control when creating it, either Default, Private or Whitelist.

2. Set up teams

2.1 Click Save and a message will pop out for you to choose next actions. Click Set Team.

2.2 You can also choose team members from the Project->Team->Manage Team.

Then you will see the page to manage team members. You should choose users involved in the project and set their roles. Weekdays and available hours must be set carefully. Generally speaking, no one can work continuously 8 hours a day or 7 days a week.

2.3 After the team is set, ZenTao will automatically calculate the total man hours for the project.
