+In this quickstart, you create a project in Azure Deployment Environments. You then associate the project with the dev center you created in [Create and configure a dev center by using the Azure CLI](how-to-create-configure-dev-center.md).
 
 A platform engineering team typically creates projects and provides project access to development teams. Development teams then create [environments](concept-environments-key-concepts.md#environments) by using [environment definitions](concept-environments-key-concepts.md#environment-definitions), connect to individual resources, and deploy applications.
