Getting Started with Aurora
A practical guide to setting up your workspace, inviting your team, and shipping your first project with Aurora.
Setting up a new project management tool can feel like a project in itself. With Aurora, we designed the onboarding experience to get your team productive in under ten minutes. Whether you are migrating from another platform or starting fresh, this guide walks you through everything you need to know.
Create Your First Workspace
After signing up, you will land on the workspace creation screen. Give your workspace a name, invite your first team members by email, and choose a default view. Aurora supports board, list, timeline, and calendar views out of the box, so pick whatever matches how your team already thinks about work.
The best tool is the one your team actually uses. That is why Aurora adapts to your workflow instead of forcing you into someone else’s process.
Once your workspace is live, take a few minutes to explore the sidebar. You will find sections for projects, inbox, personal tasks, and reports. Everything is organized around the principle that context switching kills productivity, so related information stays close together.
Organize, Ship, Repeat
With your workspace ready, create your first project and break it down into tasks. Here are a few tips that successful teams follow:
- Start with outcomes, not tasks. Define what “done” looks like for the project before adding individual items.
- Use labels sparingly. Two or three labels per project are usually enough. Over-labeling creates noise.
- Set realistic deadlines. Aurora’s timeline view will flag conflicts automatically, so you can adjust before things pile up.
- Review weekly. Use the built-in reports dashboard to track velocity and identify blockers early.
As your team grows, Aurora scales with you. Role-based permissions, custom workflows, and integrations with the tools you already use mean you never outgrow the platform. Welcome aboard.
