Before creating a load test, you must either be a part of an existing project or create one of your own projects within your organization. Projects help logically group load tests.&#x20;

#### Step 1: Select or Create a Project&#x20;

From the top header:&#x20;

1. Click the **Project Selector** dropdown.&#x20;
2. You will see a **“+ Create Project”** option.&#x20;
3. Click **“+ Create Project”** to begin.&#x20;

#### Step 2: Enter Project Details&#x20;

A modal titled Create New Project will appear.&#x20;

1. **Project Name (Required):** Enter a unique name for your project (e.g., Demo Project, Production API Tests).&#x20;
2. **Description (Optional):** Provide context about the purpose of the project (e.g., “Load testing for checkout APIs.”).&#x20;

#### Step 3: Create the Project&#x20;

1. Click **Create**.&#x20;
2. The new project becomes selectable from the header.&#x20;
3. The dashboard updates to reflect the selected project.&#x20;
4. You can now create load tests within this project.&#x20;
