# Project Basics
## Overview
A **Project** is the next level in the hierarchy after a workspace and serves as the primary organization unit for all your tasks.
With projects, you can **structure your workspace in any way to fit your needs**. For instance, you can create projects for each of your clients or departments, populate them with tasks, add members, assign roles, and get to work.
[Tasks Page](/pages-and-ui-elements/tasks-page.md) is where you'll primarily work with your projects. In the left sidebar, you'll see a list of all your projects. To **view the tasks** within a specific project, simply select it from the list.
## Project Chat
Each project has its own dedicated **chat,** where you can communicate with your team regarding project-related matters. You can **access a project chat** in three main ways:
1. From [Chats Page](/pages-and-ui-elements/chats-page.md): Find the project in the chat list and click on it;
2. From [Tasks Page](/pages-and-ui-elements/tasks-page.md):
1. Find the project in the [Tasks Page](/pages-and-ui-elements/tasks-page.md#tasks-block);
2. Hover over the project name;
3. Click the chat icon that appears to the right of the project name.
3. From Project Info:
1. Click on the project on Tasks page;
2. Click the `Info`icon in the top-left corner of the screen;
3. Click the chat icon in the top-left corner of the Info block.
## Project Nesting
Orchestra supports **two levels of project nesting**, allowing you to organize your projects into a clear hierarchy, like:
* Product development
* Product design
* Frontend
* Backend
* Marketing
* Landing page
* FB campaigns
You can nest projects in three ways:
* By dragging the project to the second level of nesting. Here's how you can do it:
* Open [Tasks Page](/pages-and-ui-elements/tasks-page.md);
* Hover over the project you want to nest in the[Tasks Page](/pages-and-ui-elements/tasks-page.md#tasks-block);
* Click and hold the `Drag` icon;
* Move the subproject to the right and below the parent project you want to nest it under;
* You can also drag the subproject to the first nesting level (above the parent).
* By setting a parent project in the project [Info Sidebar](/pages-and-ui-elements/info-sidebar.md):
* Open [Tasks Page](/pages-and-ui-elements/tasks-page.md);
* In the [Tasks Page](/pages-and-ui-elements/tasks-page.md#projects-block), click on the project you want to nest under another project;
* Open the project's [Info Sidebar](/pages-and-ui-elements/info-sidebar.md) by clicking the `Info` icon in the top-right corner of the screen;
* Click on the Parent selector;
* Choose the project you want to nest your current project under;
* To remove the nesting, select `Set no parent` in the Parent field selector.
* By creating a subroject. Here you can read more about it: [#create-a-subproject](#create-a-subproject "mention").
