Create your first project and mission
Add a project, create a mission inside it and set an owner, a due date and a priority in a couple of minutes.
Every mission lives in a project, so start with a project.
Create a project#
- In the sidebar, open Projects.
- Press New project.
- Type a Project name (at least 3 characters), for example
Acme Corp Website Redesign, then press Create project.
Missions opens the new project and gives it a short code. Every mission in it gets a key made from that code, such as WEB-12.
Create a mission#
- Press New mission, or press C anywhere in the app.
- Type the Mission name.
- Pick the Project, and optionally a status, assignees, due date, priority, ETA and description.
- Create it. A message with an Open button appears so you can jump straight to the mission.
Fill in the details#
Click a mission to open its panel. Set the status, Assignees, Priority, Start date, Due date, ETA, Tags and Description. Changes save as you type: the panel shows Saving…, then Saved.
