Hi All, 

In my previous post on VSO (i.e VSTS) I have explained the steps to create free VSTS account,in this post we will explore different options for creating new team project in VSTS account. As we all know in VSTS we can have only one collection , i.e. DefaultCollection under which we can create multiple team projects. Here are the different options to create Team Project.

Connect to your VSTS account (Ex: https://explorevsonline.visualstudio.com/)

Method 1:

Below screen will appear if you have opted out creating team project during VSTS account creation or there is no Team Project created on your VSTS account. On this page you can input details like Team Project name, choose process template,select the version control type(Git or TFVC) then click on Create project button.

Method 2:

Another way for creating team project is by clicking on  Manage Account i.e the gear button at the top-right corner as shown in the below screenshot,

 when you click on the gear button as shown above you will be redirected to the VSTS admin page. In this admin page you can find the control panel tab and you can also find link for creating new Team project. Click on "Create a new team project" link present at the right side under Control panel, which will pop up "CREATE TEAM PROJECT" window, now you can enter the details as mentioned in Method 1

Method 3:

In case you have already created a Team Project and want to create one more, use below option to quickly create a team project.

In your VSTS account Overview tab you can find "New" link under "Recent projects & teams" section as highlighted in below image, click on the "New" link. You will get pop up "CREATE TEAM PROJECT" window, now you can enter the details as mentioned in Method 1

Method 4:

If you have already connected to the team project and using any of the tabs like, Home /Code / Work / Test / Release / Build, you can quickly create new team project by clicking on the current team project link, which displays the drop down list with option for "New team project" as highlighted below. Click on "New team project" option. You will get pop up "CREATE TEAM PROJECT" window, now you can enter the details as mentioned in Method 1
