# Creating Projects

> Create, organize, edit, and archive projects inside your organization.

Projects are the containers for your planning sessions inside an organization. A project typically maps to a codebase, product area, or initiative — for example, `backend-api`, `mobile-app`, or `data-pipeline`.

***

## Creating a New Project

1. In the left sidebar, click **+ New Project**
2. Enter a **project name** (required)
3. Add an optional **description** to help teammates understand the project's scope
4. Click **Create Project**

The project will appear in the sidebar immediately and is visible to all members of your organization, subject to their role permissions.

## Organizing Projects

As your team grows, a few naming conventions help keep things tidy:

* Use consistent naming patterns — e.g. `[team]-[service]` or `[product]-[area]`
* Keep project scope tight — one project per codebase or distinct product area works better than one large catch-all project
* Use descriptions to document what belongs in each project

***

## Editing a Project

To rename a project or update its description:

1. Right-click the project in the sidebar, or open the project and click the **settings** icon
2. Select **Edit Project**
3. Update the name or description and save

***

## Archiving and Recovering Projects

When a project is complete, you can archive it to keep the sidebar clean without losing any history.

1. Right-click the project in the sidebar and select **Archive Project**
2. Confirm the action — the project will be removed from the active sidebar view

To recover an archived project, go to **All Projects** in the sidebar, click **Show Archived**, find the project, and select **Recover**.

<Note>
  All sessions, messages, and files within an archived project are preserved and fully accessible after restoration.
