If you are an administrator and want to create a project, please follow these helpful links and instructions: 


Creating a Project

  1. Choose the Jira icon (, , , or ) > Projects.
  2. Select Create project (top right).
  3. Give your project a name.
  4. Double check that the project's template matches your team's needs. To view a list and choose from other templates, select Change.
  5. Select Create.

We automatically generate a project key when the project is created. Whoever created the project is set as the project lead by default.

To change these details:

  1. From your project's sidebar, select Settings.
  2. Select Details.

We remember which template you choose and use that as the default whenever you create a project.

Create a project that shares its configuration with another project

Only Jira admins can create projects with a shared configuration.

Projects that share configuration share:

  • issue types
  • workflows
  • screens
  • fields
  • roles
  • versions
  • components
  • permissions
  • notifications
  • and more

If a change is made to one of the projects' configurations, that change affects all the projects that share that configuration.

To create a project with a shared configuration:

  1. Choose the Jira icon (, , , or ) > Projects.
  2. Select Create project (top right).
  3. Give your project a name.
  4. Under Project template, select Change.
  5. Choose Create with shared configuration > Select.
  6. Under Create project with shared configuration, select the project from which you want your new project to share its configuration.
  7. Select Create.
