Guidelines on how to create projects in Asana
4 key components for Projects:

Executing; delivery.
Monitoring: progress over time

When in Asana there are two spots you can select to create a new project. There is a + in a red circle near the search bar, to the left. Or, on the left side there is + sign next to projects. Select either of these to create a new project
2.
Your new project will need a name, this should be an actionable item. Next you will select the team involved with the project, then you will add a detailed description of what goals you would like the project to achieve and how you will reach these goals. The layout is user preference and the privacy is determined by the sensitivity of the project. Once all info is added select Create Project
