In this article, you'll learn how to create a project template that can be reused for multiple projects.

**Step 1:** Start by clicking on the **Create Template** button.

**Step 2:** Enter a suitable title for your template.

**Step 3:** Add a description to your template.

**Step 4:** Set the template's overall **Duration (days)** — this defines how many days the template spans in total.

**Step 5:** Assign a role who'll manage this template.

**Step 6:** Specify if this template will be account specific.

**Step 7:** After filling in all the necessary information, click on **Create Template**.

**Step 8:** You're now ready to add tasks to your template. Start by adding a title for your task.

**Step 9:** Set the **Start From** and **Duration** for your task. Template tasks use day offsets instead of fixed dates:

* **Start From (days)** — how many days after the project start date this task begins (e.g., 0 = project start, 4 = four days later)
* **Duration (days)** — how many days the task lasts from its start date

When a project is created from this template, these offsets are converted to real dates based on the project's start date. You can also add dependencies between template tasks — they follow the same rules as project dependencies. See [Task Dependencies & Auto-Cascade Dates](/projects/task_dependencies_and_cascading) for details.

**Step 10:** Assign a priority level to your task.

**Step 11:** Choose an assignee for your task. If you don't want to assign anyone, simply click on the hyphen.

**Step 13:** Click on **Add Task** to finalize your task creation.
