Setting one up takes about a minute.<\/p>\n<h2>Create the project<\/h2>\n<p>Open the sidebar, click <strong>+ New project<\/strong>, and give it a name. Names like &#8220;Q3 Launch&#8221; or &#8220;Customer Onboarding&#8221; work better than &#8220;Stuff&#8221; \u2014 you&#8217;ll thank yourself when you have ten projects.<\/p>\n<p>Pick a color and an icon. These show up in the sidebar and on every task card; they are how your team will recognize the project at a glance.<\/p>\n<h2>Choose a template (or don&#8217;t)<\/h2>\n<p>Lattica ships with templates for common patterns \u2014 product launches, sprint cycles, content calendars, hiring pipelines. Templates pre-fill sections, custom fields, and one or two example tasks. You can change everything afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>If your project doesn&#8217;t fit a template, start blank. You can always save it as a template later.<\/p>\n<h2>Set who can see it<\/h2>\n<p>Three visibility levels:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Private<\/strong> \u2014 only people you explicitly add can see the project. Use this for hiring, performance reviews, anything sensitive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Team<\/strong> \u2014 everyone in a specific team has access. The default for most work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workspace<\/strong> \u2014 everyone in your Lattica workspace can find and join it. Good for company-wide initiatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Add your first sections<\/h2>\n<p>Sections are how you group tasks within a project. Most projects start with three or four \u2014 for example, <em>Backlog<\/em>, <em>This week<\/em>, <em>In review<\/em>, <em>Done<\/em>.
