Define your project's general data

First you should give to your project a short and suggestive name.

Hint: Multi Project version will always show your current project's name at the Current project: combo-box in the toolbar. At any time you will be able to create and add a new project to your current pool of projects by simply pressing the New button placed at the right side of the drop-down box. All projects in the same pool will share resources, calendars, etc.


If needed, you can assign to your project an internal coded name. Usually at this step you should also establish the project's manager and client. Also if possible set the project's estimated start.

Make a concise description of the project scope. The scope statement will be an input data for the work breakdown structure you'll define later.
