# Set up a team and your first issues

From empty workspace to a working team with a project and tracked issues.

<Answer>
Open Tasks in the Easerix app, create a team with a short key like ENG, add a
project for the work ahead, then press C to create your first issues — each
gets a key like ENG-1 and lands in the team's workflow, ready to assign and
prioritize.

## 1. Create a team

Your workspace starts with a **General** team, but most people create their own right away.

1. Open **Tasks** in the Easerix app ([app.easerix.com](https://app.easerix.com)).
2. Click the team switcher at the top of the sidebar and choose **New team**.
3. Give it a name and a **key** — 1–6 letters or digits, like `ENG`. The key becomes the issue prefix (`ENG-12`).
4. Choose **Create team**. New teams start with the default workflow: **Backlog → Todo → In Progress → Done → Canceled**.

## 2. Create a project

Projects bundle related issues toward a shared goal.

1. Open **Projects** in the sidebar and choose **New project**.
2. Name it and add a description of what it's about.
3. Optionally set a **Status** (Planned, In Progress, Paused, Completed, Canceled), a **Lead**, and a **Target date**.
4. Choose **Create project**.

## 3. Create your first issues

1. Press `C` anywhere — or click **New issue** — to open the composer.
2. Type a title, then set **Status**, **Priority**, **Assignee**, and **Project** from the property row.
3. Choose **Create issue**. Repeat for the next few pieces of work; issue creation is built to be fast.

## Verify it works

- **My Issues** shows everything assigned to you, grouped by status.
- **Board** shows the team's workflow as columns — drag an issue to **In Progress** and its status updates instantly.
- The project's card on **Projects** starts tracking progress as issues get done.

## Good to know

- `⌘K` opens the command palette — search issues or jump anywhere; press `?` for all keyboard shortcuts.
- Issues assigned to someone notify them through the bell in the top bar.
- Sub-issues created under an issue inherit its project and cycle automatically.
