Create your first project

A project is your isolated space: its Kanban board, backlog, calendar and team. One user can be in several projects with different roles.

Step 1: Sign up or continue with Google or GitHub

Go to syncro and click Get started.

• Email and password: name, email and password with at least 8 characters. If the email already exists you'll see An account already exists; if the password is too short you'll see At least 8 characters.
• Google or GitHub: one click and you're in. If your email already had an account it gets linked.

After signing up Syncro signs you in and takes you to Projects. If you try many times in a row you'll see Too many attempts, wait a minute: that's the 5 attempts per minute limit.

At the top you'll see Verify your email until you confirm. You can work without verifying, but we'll remind you.

Step 2: Create your first project

When you open Projects the Create project dialog opens on its own: give it a name (required, up to 100 characters), description and client (optional) and click Create project. Syncro takes you straight there as owner. If you close it without creating, you'll see a notice with a button to create it whenever you want.

Inside the project, on the home you'll see:

• A greeting and project stats
• Three tips that disappear once you complete them: Invite your team (if you're alone), Create your first board and Add your first tasks

Step 3: Create more projects whenever you want

In Projects click Create project (top right).

A dialog opens with:

• Name: required, up to 100 characters. E.g. Northstar Redesign
• Description: optional, up to 500
• Client: optional, up to 100. You can type a new one or pick an existing one from the list

Click Create project and Syncro takes you straight to that project. You're already owner.

If the name is empty you'll see Name cannot be empty; if the client is too long you'll see Client cannot exceed 100 characters.

Step 4: Invite your team

Inside the project go to Team in the sidebar.

1. At the top you'll see Add member: type the email and pick the role (if you're admin you'll only see Member).
2. Click Add member: Syncro sends an email with a link that expires in 7 days.
3. While it arrives, it stays in Pending invitations with Resend and Revoke.

If the email is already a member you'll see Already a member. If they don't have an account yet, they still get the email and upon signing up they join directly.

Tip: You don't need another account for another project. Switch with the project selector in the top bar or by going back to Projects.

Next step: understand how project, client, tasks and backlog fit together before creating your first board.
