# Project
Project management in ERPNext is Task driven. You can create Project and assign multiple Tasks against it.

### Managing tasks
Project can be divided into multiple Tasks.
Task can be created via Project document itself or can be created via [Task](/docs/user/manual/en/projects/tasks.html)
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_task.png">
* To view Task made against a Project click on 'Tasks'
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - View Task" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_view_task.png">
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Task List" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_task_list.png">
* You can also view the Tasks from the Project document itself
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Task Grid" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_task_grid.png">

<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Task Grid" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/task-weights.png">
### Managing time
ERPNext uses [Time Log](/docs/user/manual/en/projects/time-log.html) to track the progress of a Project.
You can create Time Logs against each task.
The Actual Start and End Time along with the costing shall then be updated based on the Time Log.
* To view Time Log made against a Project click on 'Time Logs'
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - View Time Log" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_view_time_log.png">
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Time Log List" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_time_log_list.png">
* You can also create a Time Log directlly and link it to the Project.
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Link Time Log" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_time_log_link.png">
### Managing expenses
You can book [Expense Claim](/docs/user/manual/en/human-resources/expense-claim.html) against a project task.
The system shall update the total amount from expense claims in the project costing section.
* To view Expense Claims made against a Project click on 'Expense Claims'
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - View Expense Claim" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_view_expense_claim.png">
* You can also create a Expense Claims directlly and link it to the Project.
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Link Expense Claim" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_expense_claim_link.png">
* Total amount of Expense Claims booked against a project is shown under 'Total Expense Claim' in the Project Costing Section
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Total Expense Claim" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_total_expense_claim.png">
### Cost Center
You can make a [Cost Center](/docs/user/manual/en/accounts/setup/cost-center.html) against a Project or use an existing cost center to track all expenses made against that project.
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Cost Center" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_cost_center.png">
###Project Costing
The Project Costing section helps you track the time, expenses and purchases incurred against the project.
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Costing" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_costing.png">
* The Total Cost is composed of the costing amount from timesheets, the total cost from expense claims and the total cost from purchase invoices created against this project.
* The Gross Margin is the difference between Total Billed Amount and the Total Cost Amount for this project.
###Billing
You can make/link a [Sales Order](/docs/user/manual/en/selling/sales-order.html) against a project. Once linked you can use the standard sales module to bill your customer against the Project.
<img class="screenshot" alt="Project - Sales Order" src="{{docs_base_url}}/assets/img/project/project_sales_order.png">
###Gantt Chart
A Gantt Chart illustrates a project schedule.
ERPNext gives you a illustrated view of tasks scheduled against that project in Gantt Chart View.
