Creating projects

The easiest way to create a new project is to select the Create project menu option from the Projects drop-down menu from the top navigation bar. This will bring up the Create project dialog. Note that, as explained previously, you need to be a Jira administrator (such as the user we created during installation) to create projects. This option is only available if you have this permission.

From the Create project dialog, select the template you want to use under the Business heading and click on Next. On the next page, Jira will display the predefined configurations for the template you have selected. In our example, we have selected the Project management template, so Jira provides us with two issue types and a very simple workflow with three steps. Click on the Select button to continue, as shown in the following screenshot:
