Create your first project

Work in Ngenaire happens inside projects, and every project lives inside an organization. This page explains that hierarchy and walks you through creating your first project.

The hierarchy

  • You belong to one or more organizations (a personal organization is created for you when you sign up on your own; if you joined through an invitation you are already in someone else's organization).
  • Each organization holds projects.
  • The person who creates a project becomes its owner — the highest project role, with full control over content and membership.

Create a project

  1. Confirm which organization you are working in using the context switcher at the top of the workspace.
  2. Open the Projects area and choose to create a new project.
  3. Give it a Project Name — something short and descriptive, like "Lunar Lander Subsystem". You can add a Description now or later.
  4. Confirm to create it.

The new project becomes your active project immediately — the sidebar, Dashboard, and AI Assistant all switch over to it.

Start populating it

A fresh project is empty. Build it up through the lifecycle sections in the sidebar:

  • Define — concept of operations, statement of work, requirements, trade studies.
  • Model — diagrams and architecture.
  • Verify — test plans, procedures, and coverage.
  • Track — schedule, risks, and issues.
  • Report — generated documents.

A good first move is to capture a requirement under Define → Requirements so the rest of the project has something to trace to.

Let the AI Assistant help

You do not have to build everything by hand. Open the AI Assistant and ask it to scaffold artifacts for you — for example, drafting a concept of operations from a short description, decomposing a goal into requirements, or proposing an initial risk list. The assistant works against the active project and can create real artifacts you then refine.

Tips

  • Start small. Set up the workflow on a modest project before importing a large dataset.
  • Names appear in outputs. Project names show up in generated documents and reports — keep them production-ready.
  • Invite collaborators early. See Invite members.
