# Projects

Projects are used to structure areas of your infrastructure and quality in ways that make sense to your organization. Most commonly, projects translate 1:1 to a team, or a software code base.

Projects then function as a collection of integrations, such as Jira and Azure that you collect metrics for, and typically relate to the type of application.

For example, if your company is an e-commerce shop you most likely have a different application dealing with sales and another for shipping, leading to two projects called 'shipping' and 'sales' respectively, or something more intuitive to your needs.

If you have just created a company you will be redirected to the create project screen which will require of you to create one project before you can access any other parts of the tool.

Having created a project, you will need to add an integration to start processing data.
