+## Managing projects 
+
+### Creating projects
+
+You can use a mutation to create a new project. For more information, see "[About mutations](/graphql/guides/forming-calls-with-graphql#about-mutations)."
+
+To create a new project using the API, you'll need to provide a name for the project and the node ID of a {% data variables.product.product_name %} user or organization who will become the project's owner.
+
+You can find the node ID of a {% data variables.product.product_name %} user or organization if you know the username. Replace <code>GITHUB_OWNER</code> with the {% data variables.product.product_name %} username of the new project owner.
+
+{% curl %}
+```shell
+curl --request GET \
+  --url https://api.github.com/users/<em>GITHUB_OWNER</em> \
+  --header 'Authorization: token <em>TOKEN</em>' \
+  --header 'Accept: application/vnd.github+json'
+```
+{% endcurl %}
+
+{% cli %}
+```shell
+gh api -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" /users/<em>GITHUB_OWNER</em>
+```
+{% endcli %}
+
+To create the project, replace `OWNER_ID` with the node ID of the new project owner and replace `PROJECT_NAME` with a name for the project.
+
+{% curl %}
+```shell
+curl --request POST \
+  --url https://api.github.com/graphql \
+  --header 'Authorization: token <em>TOKEN</em>' \
+  --data '{"query":"mutation {createProjectV2(input: {ownerId: \"<em>OWNER_ID</em>\" title: \"<em>PROJECT_NAME</em>\"}) {projectV2 {id}}}"}'
+```
+{% endcurl %}
+
+{% cli %}
+```shell
+gh api graphql -f query='
+  mutation{
+    createProjectV2(
+      input: {
+        ownerId: "<em>OWNER_ID</em>",
+        title: "<em>PROJECT_NAME</em>"
+      }
+    ){
+      projectV2 {
+        id
+      }
+     }
+  }'
+```
+{% endcli %}

 ## Using webhooks
 
 You can use webhooks to subscribe to events taking place in your project. For example, when an item is edited, {% data variables.product.product_name %} can send a HTTP POST payload to the webhook's configured URL which can trigger automation on your server. For more information about webhooks, see "[About webhooks](/developers/webhooks-and-events/webhooks/about-webhooks)." To learn more about the `projects_v2_item` webhook event, see "[Webhook events and payloads](/developers/webhooks-and-events/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads#projects_v2_item)."
