[edit]  :

You can start a new project either by choosing the option in the Welcome dialog, clicking on the New Project toolbar button (POD), or choosing File | New Project from the menu (OpenProj)

The New Project dialog appears:

The only required field is the Project Name. The Project Start date will be today (or the next working day after today) by default, but you can change it. Normally projects use forward scheduling, where you pick a start date and the dates are calculated in the future. However, you can also use "reverse" scheduling, in which case, you pick a finish date for the project and the application will schedule dates backwards from that date. Dates are calculated using the Critical Path Method

You can modify any of the values at a later time by going to the Project Information Dialog

After entering details, you will be shown an empty Gantt Chart where you can start Creating Tasks.
