How to create a project
Creating a project is the first step to getting work done in TeamGantt! If you're a manager, you have the ability to add new projects.
There are 2 different ways to do this:
Method #1: From the left-hand sidebar menu, click the "+" button beside Active Projects or click the "+" button next to Me and select New Project.
Method #2: Select My Projects from the left-hand sidebar menu, and click the New Project button.
From there, you can choose from the following 3 options:
- Create a new project (If this is your first time creating a project, click on the blue Create New Project button to get started.)
- Duplicate an existing project
- Create a project from a CSV upload
Then it's time to provide some basic project details! Here's what every new project needs:
- Project name
- Template
- Either start with a new blank project or choose a template
- Start Date
- Default view for all invitees
- Days of the week work will be scheduled
- Any items you wish to import
When you're done, click the
Create new project button to add your new project.
Tip: If you created a template out of an existing project, you can create a new project based on this template. This saves time and effort so you don't have to create everything from scratch.
Note: The Free plan is limited to 1 project with 60 tasks. Upgrade to a trial of our Standard or Advanced plan to get unlimited projects!
How to create a project when you belong to multiple accounts
If you're a manager on 2 or more accounts, you'll see a Company drop-down on the Create a New Project page. This menu enables you to assign each new project to the right account.

Note: Once a project's created in one account, it can't be moved to another. Be sure to double-check the Company drop-down before making your new project!

How to delete a project
Note: Only users with manager permissions on the project are allowed to delete a project.
Some projects fizzle out before they're finished. If this happens, there are 2 ways to delete a project from your TeamGantt account.
Method #1 - From the My Projects list:
Click My Projects from the left-hand sidebar menu. Hover over the project you want to delete, and click Options > Delete Project.
Method #2 - From within a project:
Select Menu > Project Settings, and click Delete Project.
