# Create a Lytics Project

A Lytics project stores and manages user data profiles within the Lytics. Creating a project provisions the underlying Lytics account, generates the JStag installation snippet for your front-end, and makes the project available for connections to your CMS stacks, Launch projects, and Personalize projects.

## Prerequisites

*   [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login)
*   Access to the Contentstack Organization as the [Owner](/docs/administration/about-administration-roles#organization-owner)/[Admin](/docs/administration/about-administration-roles#organization-admin) that has Lytics enabled
*   The primary domain of the website or application where JStag runs.

## Steps for Execution

### Create a Project

To create a new project in Lytics, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login) and perform the following steps:

1.  In the top navigation bar, click the **App Switcher** icon and then click **Lytics CDP**.

    *   **Project Name** (required)**:** A unique, human-readable name for the project within your organization.
    *   **Description :** Free-text description. Useful when your organization manages multiple projects.
    *   **Domain** (required)**:** The primary domain where JStag runs (for example, acme.com). Must be a valid fully-qualified domain name.

Upon successful creation, the modal closes and you are taken to the new project’s dashboard.
