The HR project

Now that we have seen all the key aspects that make up a project, let's revisit what you learned so far and put it to practice. In this exercise, we will set up a project for our Human Resource (HR) team to better track and manage employees joining and leaving the company as well as tasks related to the recruitment process.

Creating a new project

We will first start by creating a new project for the HR team. To create the project, perform the following steps:

1. Bring up the Create project dialog by selecting the Create project option from the Projects drop-down menu.

2. Select the Task management project template. We can use other templates in the Business project type; the task management template is the simplest option and will make future customization easier.

3. Name our new project as Human Resource and accept the other default values for Key and Project Lead.

4. Click on the Submit button to create the new project.

You should now be taken to the project browser interface for the new project...
